Scenario 9
"My team is really busy exploring data sources and gathering information. There's
a lot more local information available than I realized. Last year the Wellington
Health Care Association measured health markers, including BMI, of children in
four different grade levels. The Heartland College Nutrition Department recently
did a study examining the relationship between parents and children on food
choices and dietary habits. We've already started assessing the relevance of
these studies. And, the Wellington chapter of the TV-Turnoff Network has
information on the families who have participated in TV-Turnoff week for the
past two years.
Based on the local data we've been able to find and the literature review we've
been doing, I took a stab at identifying some of the contributing factors. I
think it was helpful to get my ideas down on paper."
