Media-Smart Youth: Eat, Think, And Be Active!

Media-Smart Youth: Eat, Think, and Be Active! is an interactive afterschool education program for young people ages 11 to 13. It was created by The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), part of the National Institutes of Health within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to empower young people to think critically about media and make thoughtful decisions about nutrition and physical activity.
