(Recorded 4/12/2017)
Speaker: Immaculata De Vivo, MPH, PhD, Harvard University
The Mediterranean diet has been consistently linked with health benefits, including reduced mortality and reduced risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease. When the 2015-2010 Dietary Guidelines for American was released healthy eating patterns, rather than the amounts of specific nutrients, was the main thrust of the guidelines. One of these patterns is the Healthy Mediterranean-Style Eating Pattern. This webinar will explain the scientific evidence behind the recommendation of this diet.
Learning objectives
1. Learn the most recent research regarding the health benefits to the Mediterranean Diet_
2. Understand the population groups that will receive the most benefit from adopting this eating pattern.
3. Learn about the resources available to educate consumers about the Mediterranean Diet

Public transportation solutions and enhanced neighborhood safety are potential community-wide obesity prevention strategies in rural communities. However, interventions should be tailored to the community's stage of readiness. Strong social networks should be considered an asset for community change in these regions.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the ecological model of predictors of childhood overweight.
2. Describe how the community portion of the ecological model affects the barriers and facilitators for accessing healthy food and physical activity opportunities for rural preschool children.
3. Describe a mixed method developmental approach with complementary intent used in order to best understand the experiences of rural parents and their preschool-aged children access to healthy environments.

Perception of PA in rural communities may not match objective measures. Future research should work toward refining and improving existing environmental audit tools and developing new, comprehensive, location-specific tools.
Objectives:
1) To describe the tools used to assess rural environmental support for physical activity.
2) To report the environmental support of physical activity in rural areas.
3) To discuss the relationship between the measured environment for physical activity and the perceptions of physical activity support in sixth- to eighth-grade youth in rural communities.
