N2  - Obesity is a serious public health problem in the United States as it is associated with an  increased risk of chronic illnesses such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, type two  diabetes mellitus, various forms of cancer, liver disease, hyperlipidemia, stroke, sleep apnea,  infertility, various forms of disability, and increased risk of all-cause mortality particularly in adults younger than sixty-five years.  Childhood obesity carries additional risks such as asthma, hepatitis, early puberty, social isolation, depression, anxiety and increases the risk for early onset and ongoing adult health problems. The purpose of this public health initiative project is to target public health interventions  at the “contextual” level. In this project, education and incentives were implemented to encourage local  businesses to adopt a policy for a reduction in the sale and provision of sugar-sweetened  beverages (SSB) to children and their families.
