Louisiana's Report Card on Physical Activity & Health For Children & Youth

Aim of the Report Card
The report card is an advocacy tool designed to increase awareness of the health concerns associated with physical inactivity and to highlight the growing problem of physical inactivity and obesity among children and youth in Louisiana. The main target is adult decision makers.

Development of the Report Card

The development of the 2010 report card was guided by two committees. The Advisory Committee, composed of stakeholders from across Louisiana, guided the selection of indicators and gave input on the start-up and development of the Report Card. The data and content of the Report Card was gathered by a Research Committee, composed of scientists and researchers from Louisiana, who were also responsible for the grade assignments.
