Head Start Improves Child Health

Temple University researchers announced earlier this week that their national study found that Head Start meets and exceeds the requirements to prevent obesity among at-risk children. Dr. Robert Whitaker, the lead author of this study, asserted, "Early childhood education and childcare programs throughout the nation have traditionally looked to Head Start regulations to set their own standards." The findings of this study have been published as an article in the December 2009 issue of the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
