Developing pragmatic school-based interventions to support healthy weights in high risk children
FY 2013-14
Summary
Children raised in low socio-economic environments are more likely to become overweight or obese, particularly First Nations youth. The program of research outlined here is designed to develop pragmatic after school programs that protect youth living in poverty from excessive weight gain. We are also trying to understand what school-level factors contribute to the protection against obesity in children who experience dramatic declines in household income.
