The Endocrine Society has redesigned and launched ObesityinAmerica.org, a one-stop clearinghouse for those seeking the most up-to-date news and information on endocrine-related scientific trends and advancements addressing obesity. The website is one example of how the Society is pursuing its advocacy and public awareness efforts regarding obesity and its relationship to endocrinology.
The website contains a wealth of information developed and maintained by Society members serving on the Advocacy and Public Outreach Core Committee. Visitors to the site will also find links to the newest obesity-related studies and statistics from globally respected peer-reviewed journals, universities, government agencies, and health organizations. In addition, the site maintains a comprehensive list of medical experts qualified to interpret research and trends. An RSS feed links the site to current obesity-related headlines each and every day.
As part of a larger advocacy campaign, ObesityinAmerica.org is a public forum in which The Endocrine Society can take a leadership role in the debate about and fight against America’s obesity epidemic.
