3. Before, During & After School Clubs
What’s the point?
According to Dr. Beth Miller’s research before, during and
after school programs participation is proven to reduce
negative behaviors (e.g. juvenile delinquency, substance
abuse, dropout rate, conflicts between youth, school
suspensions) and increase attitudes and behaviors linked
with school success (e.g. better school behavior, better
emotional adjustment, better work habits, improved
relationships with parents, improved grades).

1Lee, Sarah M. School Health Guidelines to Promote Healthy Eating and Physical Activity.
Rep. Division of Adolescent and School Health, National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion, 11 Sept. 2011. Web. 25 Apr. 2013.
Food advertising and marketing influences
food and beverage preferences and
purchase requests of children and
adolescents, in addition to their dietary
intake.
In 2006, approximately $1.6 billion was spent
promoting foods, beverages, and fast-food
restaurants to children. Marketing unhealthy food
ads to children clearly works; it has contributed to
the rising obesity rate among children.1
How can we use marketing for good?
