Policy Summary: (I)SBAR Summary Template Policymaker’s Name: Mark Takano Policymaker’s Title: CA Congressman, District 39 (I) Identify Self Sommer Feliciano, BSN RN (S) Situation I have some concerns regarding the incidence of kid obesity in my community as well as the rising number of obese children. I have some concerns regarding the incidence of kid obesity in my community as well as the rising number of obese children. (B) Background The prevalence of childhood obesity has emerged as a significant public health concern, contributing to compromised well-being throughout the United States. Upon examining the statistical data, it becomes evident that Riverside County exhibits a greater proportion in comparison to the state of California, particularly in the context of poor socioeconomic households, with a special emphasis on Hispanic families. At present, the CalFresh program provides families with the opportunity to get a diverse range of food goods, encompassing fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables, as well as meats, poultry, dairy products, bread, snacks, and even seeds and plants for cultivating their own sustenance. Regrettably, the existing rules of the program fail to adequately meet the need for accessible and nutritionally balanced meals, which are crucial for promoting healthier lifestyles among low- socioeconomic families and ensuring the well-being of their children.

These services offered a hassle-free meal choice that was nutritionally sound and came with recipe cards that were simple to understand, allowing the whole family to participate in the preparation of nutritious meals. (R) Recommendation I suggest the establishment of an advocate action team with diverse people from various regions within the county and state. The primary objective of this team would be to provide educational outreach to Hispanic families residing in our neighborhood who are classified as having low socioeconomic status, specifically focusing on informing them about available meal delivery choices. This study aims to elucidate the many health advantages associated with the adoption of this particular choice, as well as highlight its convenience. Additionally, we will closely monitor participating families to assess the potential influence of this option on the reduction of juvenile obesity.
