UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON TEAMS WITH INTERLEX FOR HEALTH-RELATED SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN
The University of Washington has partnered with Interlex Communications, the University of Pennsylvania, and Galloway Research to conduct research on how to best reduce the consumption of sugary fruit-flavored drinks by Latinx children. The initiative will include a highly targeted in-culture, bilingual social media campaign aimed at the parents of Latinx children ages 0 to 5. The effort was awarded funding by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Healthy Eating Research (HER) program. HER aims to help all children achieve optimal nutrition and a healthy weight. Leading the project is Jim Krieger, MD, MPH, who is a Professor at University of Washington as well as Executive Director of the non-profit Healthy Food America. For Interlex, the campaign builds on longstanding expertise in the area of public health and nutrition, including past campaigns to reduce consumption of sugary drinks for the American Heart Association, Center for Science in the Public Interest, Coalition for a Healthy California, Illinois Alliance to Prevent Obesity and Bexar Healthy Beverage Coalition.

The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) has awarded a multiyear contract to Interlex following a competitive RFP process. Interlex will serve as the agency for TDA’s Food & Nutrition Division, whose mission is “feeding the hungry and promoting healthy lifestyles.” The TDA Food & Nutrition Division serves millions of Texans through the administration of 12 federal nutrition programs and the oversight of more than $1.8 billion in federal money annually used to fund the programs, which include the National School Lunch Program, Summer Feeding Programs, Food Assistance for Disaster Relief, and the Farmers Market Nutrition Program.
