Abstract

This papers present a Mexican communauty based program, “5 pasos por tu salud” (“5 steps for your health”) that contributed to a national strategy of obesity prevention in Mexico between 2007 and 2011. This program applies in Mexico the Epode model developed in France, Belgium and Canada to improve the motivation to change of youngsters integrated in this project. Here, we will insist particularly on the part of the program that were focused on adolescents.
