Popping the Bubblewrap, Unleashing the Power of Play

儿童肥胖、欺凌和心理健康状况不佳的长期成本是惊人的。尽管为预防和干预投资了数十亿美元，但统计数字继续恶化。我们提供一个简单、可持续、具有成本效益的预防方案，目的是在卫生和研究领域实现重要的国家优先事项。我们希望通过在全国每个学校操场都可复制的战略，对儿童的活动水平、应对和社会技能产生重大影响，并为游戏、健康和教育政策做出贡献。

The long-term costs of childhood obesity, bullying and poor mental health are staggering. Despite the investment of billions of dollars for prevention and intervention, the statistics continue to worsen. We offer a simple, sustainable, cost-effective programme of prevention aimed at important national priorities within health and research. We expect to demonstrate a significant effect on children's activity levels, coping and social skills through strategies that are replicable in every school playground in the nation and to contribute to policy regarding play, health, and education.
