PLACES in Practice 

CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity is using PLACES obesity estimates to determine eligibility for the High Obesity Program 2023. The High Obesity Program funds land grant universities to work with community extension services to increase access to healthier foods and safe and accessible places for physical activity in counties that have more than 40% of adults with obesity.
