Annotation

This online module, based on a life course framework, is designed to help public health leaders describe the role of maternal and child nutrition in population health and identify actions they can take to create equitable access to healthy foods and food environments. There are three parts to the module: 1) Why Nutrition Matters, 2) The Life Course Framework, and 3) Applying the Life Course Framework. Each of these parts contains several expansive subtopics, a summary, and a “knowledge check” exercise. An additional, cumulative quiz is provided at the end of the module. A glossary and list of resources is also provided.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the role of maternal and child health (MCH) nutrition in the lifelong health of the population.

• Access resources for assessment, assurance, and policy development for MCH nutrition.

• Identify ways to integrate MCH nutrition within state and local public health agencies.

• Apply the principles of the life course framework for population-based public health actions and initiatives.
