Question: We want to implement a diet and exercise program for mentally retarded citizens in a residental setting. Do you have any programs that have worked in the past?
Answer: You may want to check out the review of programs at the Guide to Community Preventive Services, http://www.thecommunityguide.org/. They have done a wonderful job of reviewing the experimental and practice literature in public health. Their reviews of physical activity and nutrition are very helpful.
