Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative), and Purposes/Aim of Study

Question: what is the incidence of childhood obesity in the United States?

Purpose: to determine the prevalence of obesity among children in the United States.

Purpose: to compare and contrast international and American school-based obesity prevention and intervention strategies and highlight the effective ones.

Research questions: “Does a hospital-based obesity program aimed at improving patient and family awareness and understanding of the importance of maintaining an ideal body weight decrease the incidences of obesity related comorbidities in pediatric patients with a BMI greater than or equal to 30”

Purpose: to create a proposal for a hospital based program to raise awareness on obesity related health issues

To summarize previous systematic reviews on the causes, prevention, and interventions of childhood obesity.

Key Findings

The annual study-specific obesity incidences according to CDC growth charts were 4.0%, 3.2%, and 1.8% for preschoolers, school aged, and high school children.

10 interventions were implemented in the United States and ten in international locations. International interventions target elementary aged children, less likely to target low socio-economic groups, likely to last less than two years. However, international interventions are more likely to assimilate an environmental component compared to U.S.

The implementation of a research-based childhood obesity awareness program can help reduce incidences of childhood obesity

Pediatric obesity has increased considerably but there are strategies that effectively prevent and help reduce it.

Recommendations

Childhood obesity prevention efforts should target ages before onset of the problem.

Future interventions should be prolonged and include an environmental aspect.

Project teams should be created to implement , monitor, and evaluate obesity awareness programs

Increasing awareness on childhood awareness among the communities is necessary

Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone Project

This study demonstrates the statistics of childhood obesity in the United States. It helps to prove the extent of the obesity issue in the project.

This article helps the project by providing some of the effective interventions that can be used to deal with the childhood obesity problem.

This dissertation contains some important findings on the effectiveness of education on dealing with obesity.

This article summarizes a lot of important information such as its causes, prevention, and intervention strategies. This can help to provide evidence for the arguments of the capstone project.
