New Map of the Week at NMCDC - Healthy Weight Assessment Project - Each year since 2008, nurses at Albuquerque Public Schools weigh and measure over 20,000 children. That is a lot of interaction with students!
The Department of Health Albuquerque Regional Office of Community Assessment processes, maps and promotes the use of the data to assist prevention efforts.
In addition to mapping Albuquerque Public elementary school student BMI categories by grade, the map includes features such as food, recreational and transportation resources, health outcomes and the location of school gardening projects (thanks to the help of Foodcorps and APS Growing Gardens Team).
