May 2018. HEPP case study: Amsterdam Healthy Weight Programme
The UK Health Forum has produced a case study on the Amsterdam Healthy Weight Programme for the European Commission Health Equity Pilot Project. The programme was established in 2013 by the Amsterdam Municipality. It is significant because it has begun to show improvements in childhood obesity levels in the city. Preliminary results suggest that the programme has had a greater impact to date on lower socio-economic population, though causality cannot be proven at this point.
