Todobebe and Molina Healthcare Produce National Public Service Announcements

"The implications are that childhood asthma and obesity prevention efforts must begin early in life. Furthermore, if untreated, many of these conditions can persist throughout one's life," said James Howatt, M.D., chief medical officer of Molina Healthcare. "Knowledge about these conditions is particularly important among the Latino community, where prevalence and risk factors have been high. We are pleased to partner with Todobebe in delivering these important messages to families across the country."

Starring in the PSAs is Viva la Familia de Todobebe's TV co-host, Jeannette Kaplun, who is also the Todobebe co-founder, author and parenting expert. Todobebe will also promote the important health content through its digital properties reaching millions of parents globally.

"Our collaboration with Molina Healthcare is part of our ongoing efforts to work with our media partners, and key academic, health, and advocacy organizations to improve access to trusted content among Spanish speaking mothers responsible for the health and well being of their children and families," said Cynthia Nelson, Todobebe's chief operating officer.

• Research has shown that Hispanics are twice as more likely to use an outpatient clinic, such as the emergency room, for asthma visits rather than their primary care physician's office.
• Latest studies have revealed that 1 out of 5 preschoolers in the U.S. are obese, which is found most commonly among American Indian, Hispanic and African-American children.
• Hispanic mothers are 2.3 times more likely to begin prenatal care in the third trimester or not receive prenatal care at all compared to non-Hispanic white mothers.
