儿童肥胖症是一个复杂的问题，需要各级多方利益攸关方的参与，以可持续的方式促进更健康的生活方式。“共同预防儿童肥胖”是一个大规模、协调一致的能力建设办法，目的是让社区实施有效和可持续的预防儿童肥胖战略。本文介绍了EPODE方法及其预防儿童肥胖的目标，在中央一级，一个协调小组，利用社会营销和组织技术，培训和教练的地方项目经理在每个EPODE社区提名的地方当局。还向当地项目经理提供了通过当地指导委员会和当地网络动员当地利益攸关方的工具。该方法的附加值是动员公共和私营部门各级利益攸关方。其关键组成部分包括政治承诺、可持续资源、支助服务和利用证据基础的强有力的科学投入，以及对方案的评价，自2004年以来，EPODE方法已在6个国家的500多个社区实施。基于社区的干预措施是预防儿童肥胖症的组成部分。EPODE为解决这一挑战提供了一个有价值的模型。
Childhood obesity is a complex issue and needs multistakeholder involvement at all levels to foster healthier lifestyles in a sustainable way. Ensemble Prevenons l'ObesiteDes Enfants (EPODE, Together Let's Prevent Childhood Obesity) is a large-scale, coordinated, capacity-building approach for communities to implement effective and sustainable strategies to prevent childhood obesity. This paper describes EPODE methodology and its objective of preventing childhood obesity.At a central level, a coordination team, using social marketing and organizational techniques, trains and coaches a local project manager nominated in each EPODE community by the local authorities. The local project manager is also provided with tools to mobilize local stakeholders through a local steering committee and local networks. The added value of the methodology is to mobilize stakeholders at all levels across the public and the private sectors. Its critical components include political commitment, sustainable resources, support services and a strong scientific input drawing on the evidence-base -together with evaluation of the programme.Since 2004, EPODE methodology has been implemented in more than 500 communities in six countries. Community-based interventions are integral to childhood obesity prevention. EPODE provides a valuable model to address this challenge.
