food and lifestyle practices in childhood . This prevention and
treatment program will incorporate nutritional assessment ,
counseling and education at regular intervals by Registered
Dietitians for each child and family unit . This application
requests funding to make these services available to the target
population .
In order to meet the deadline for submission, an unsigned draft
copy of the application has been forwarded to the Helen V .
Branch Foundation , but subject to Board approval . The Board
