•Weight-gain prevention interventions in community settings, including health care delivery systems, schools, work sites, families and special need populations (such as the Native American population).
•Clinical studies on weight-gain prevention and weight loss intervention methods.
•Public policy, such as food marketing practices.
•Etiology, including why are we biologically vulnerable, and what behaviors and/or environmental exposures have the greatest impact on body weight.
