Answer

The program also seemed to pay little attention to some of the major social and behavioral factors. One of the factors which the program paid a little attention it was the family history which is one of the major contributors to diabetes and obesity. Most children who are associated with diabetes, their family members also have been facing the same problem thus creating a big chance for their kids. This is a very important factor because it creates awareness among different individuals thus preparing them psychologically thus making them ready to fight the diseases. There is also the economic factor which is one of the major challenges facing health care in terms of eating. In some of the families which are mostly affected they are not able to afford balanced diet food such as better and fresh fruits, vegetables among others. This is a very important factor because when a family or an individual can afford the healthy food he, she or the family can smoothly avoid or mitigate this kind of risk. The other factor which was neglected was the signs and symptoms of diabetes and obesity. This is also a very important factor because when people are aware of the signs they can easily take action of dealing with it as soon as possible. Then there was the issue of poor income in the communities. This makes the communities unable to access healthy food options. This is a very crucial factor because with good income the community can be able to access grocery stores, Farmers' markets and also food chains which are faster and positively effective to them. The program should also have advised different individuals on how they can be able to earn more for them to be able to afford healthy foods like healthy cereals. Finally, there is a genetic and race issue. this is a very crucial factor because when the people are aware of the genes and the race which is endangered by diabetes then they can get prepared and come up with preventive measures earlier before it affects them. (Rosenburg & Weissman, 2012).

According to the programs public health data, it is evident that those who were involved in the program have lost their weight of about at least 8%. Also, they have achieved this because they have been involved in physical excise for about two hours per day. The study also shows that parents have been taught on how to prevent and manage diabetes and obesity within their children. Parents have been shown on how to teach their kind's different exercises, they have been given instructions on insulin administration and also blood glucose monitoring. The program also has been involved in daily phone reminders for parents with the kind who are patients on how to adjust their insulin does as well as offering one on one educational session. Also around one hundred and twenty-six restaurants across fourteen Massachusetts communities improved in terms of providing a healthy menu option to the members of the public. The data shows also that school nutrition programs have also improved. This also shows that there have been partnerships with the available local farms which produce then provide healthy food to different schools. The school children also have been given a break before lunchtime for them to be able to come up with an appetite alongside taking the food with enough period to avoid rushing for the food. On the other hand, the communities have opted to expand their walking. Then they took a crucial step in implementing safe routes for the school students to use while walking or biking to and from the school. It is also evident that the lots which had been abandoned by the communities have been converted to green spaces and parks which are responsible for the provision of the vegetables and fresh fruits to the communities. According to the public health data, it is also evident that those students who come from families with a low income have also experienced an improvement in both their health and academics. Due to this program, also they improved their blood pressure and body mass. The program data also shows that experts have been involved in solving this diabetes problem through committing themselves to quality health care and also extend their services beyond the hospital mostly is states of Maryland and Virginia. Finally, the results of the program showed great improvement as it was expected thus making it successful although it was not 100% to the greatest percentage it met its expectations ( Moini & Moini, 2017). 

Every program has its pros and cons, weakness and also strength. But some of the programs have more advantages than disadvantages while others are the opposite. Most of the time, both the weakness and the strengths of a program are the one which determines its success of frailer. A program with more strengths than the weakness usually succeeds while the opposite is also true. According to the public health data, this program had more strength than the weakness thus impacting it to have more advantages than the disadvantages. This is because this program has positively influenced most diabetes and obesity problems. The program has shown different ways of preventing diabetes without the use of medication. Different parents have been shown how to prevent and also control diabetes and obesity within their children. Different children have also reduced their weight through involvement in physical excise due to this program. Via this program different restaurants were able to improve their menu options, school nutrition programs have also improved to a better percentage compared with that without the program. The communities have also been positively influenced by the program in terms of physical excises and also utilization of the prior abandoned lots in terms of production and provision of the vegetables and also fresh fruits. This program also helped those students who came from poor families in terms of their provision of better healthy food and also academics in terms of reading and also math. This program influenced students in terms of the provision of a good environment for physical excises such as walking and biking. Apart from the program is more successful in terms of what it was made to achieve, it had also its failures. This program failed in various things such as paying little attention to some social and behavioral factors. One of the factors which this program failed in by paying wee attention is the family history which has been associated with diabetes and obesity. The program also paid a little attention to the signs and symptoms of diabetes and obesity alongside race and also a genetic issue. Also, there was the economic factor that is said to be among the major barriers to a portion of good healthy food. The program was supposed to pay a lot of attention to this factor because with it, it can be very useful to be able to access better health care food. The next factor is the low income which some of the families and also individuals experience. The program failed to deal with this factor which is very crucial because it is to provide better access to a better diet, better sports among others. Then in terms of the strengths, the program included different well known public health institutions such as the center for decease and prevention control to help the program to successfully go through. Those who were controlling the program, made a great follow up for the program to measure the success of the program. Then on the other side of negative influence, the program did not address effectively some of the issues which affected health care and instead it paid very little attention to them. It was also selective in terms of addressing different social and behavioral factors. This is because there some other factors which are major such as mental health, access to health care and substance use disorder among others. Finally, the program did not show people with low-income ways in which they can use for them to gain more income. But generally, the program was successful despite its weakness (Marchildon & Matteo, 2014).
