许多权威报告已经确定环境和政策干预是最有希望的战略，以创造全人口的饮食，体育活动和肥胖的改善。然而，进行环境和政策研究的许多方法上的挑战必须克服，使这一研究领域的进步。2008年4月8日召开了题为“肥胖、体育活动和饮食的环境和政策研究的研究设计和分析策略”的会议。来自不同背景的与会者确定了知识方面的优先差距，并提出了有希望的方法建议，以加强与肥胖有关的环境和政策研究。最后的建议是根据会后与会者调查提出的。确定了可用于推进该领域的现有方法，包括前瞻性研究、自然实验评估和经济研究。建议培训研究人员使用适当的统计方法进行复杂的设计和跨学科合作。方法研究的优先事项包括制定政策措施和健康影响评估，以及调查政策的采纳和执行情况。这次会议的结果可用于提高环境和政策研究的质量和数量，以及转化为控制肥胖的行动。
Numerous authoritative reports have identified environmental and policy interventions as the most promising strategies for creating population-wide improvements in diet, physical activity, and obesity. Yet many methodologic challenges to conducting environmental and policy research must be overcome to enable this area of study to advance. A meeting titled “Study Designs and Analytic Strategies for Environmental and Policy Research on Obesity, Physical Activity, and Diet” was held April 8, 2008. Participants from diverse backgrounds identified priority gaps in knowledge and generated recommendations for promising methods to enhance environmental and policy research related to obesity. Final recommendations were based on a postmeeting participant survey. Existing methods were identified that could be applied to advance the field, including prospective studies, evaluations of natural experiments, and economic studies. Training for investigators in the use of appropriate statistical methods for complex designs and interdisciplinary collaboration were recommended. Methodologic research priorities included the development of measures of policy and health impact assessments and the investigation of policy adoption and implementation. The results of this conference can be used to improve the quality and quantity of environmental and policy research as well as the translation to action to control obesity.
