The American Journal of Preventive Medicine is going off the page to find ways to treat childhood obesity. The publication, in tandem with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has launched the Childhood Obesity Challenge to solicit effective strategies to combat the problem. An eight-person panel will judge entries based on innovativeness, real-world efficacy and the potential impact. The prizes include $2,500 to the winning team or individual and $2,500 in other prizes.
