Spotting and Supporting Eating Disorders in School - Recommendations from Sch...Pooky Knightsmith
Eating disorders have a high rate of onset in school-aged children. School staff are in an excellent position to spot the early warning signs and offer support during recovery. This paper explores the findings from focus groups conducted with 63 members of staff from 29 UK schools with the aims of (a) understanding whether they are in a good position to support students with eating disorders and (b) to generate recommendations regarding school staff’s training needs for spotting and supporting eating disorders. Participants took part in semi-structured focus groups. These were transcribed and analysed using content analysis principles. Five key themes emerged: 1. Many staff don’t have a basic understanding of eating disorders; 2. Eating disorders are taboo in the staffroom; 3. Staff don’t feel comfortable talking to students about eating disorders; 4. Support is needed to ensure the teacher-parent relationship is a positive one; 5. School staff would welcome practical ideas for how they can best support students during the recovery period. The findings show that school staff currently feel ill-equipped to support students with eating disorders and endorse a need for focused training for school staff to better enable them to support students with eating disorders.

Childhood Obesity among Pittsburgh School Students, Ages 6-12 Years
The hypothesis of if schools served healthier food and gave the children more time to eat as well as having more chances to be active, like recess and physical education, then child hood obesity rates would decrease drastically. This study will investigate effects of teaching obese children better habits of eating and exercise and improved habits and self-esteem. The children for the study will be drawn from the general school population (ages 6 to 12). Students (n = 20) will receive a brief intervention regarding nutrition, activity, and snacking. Students will serve as their own control. Each participant will be pre- and post-tested regarding eating behavior, activity, snacking behavior, and levels of self-esteem. The hypothesis will be tested through the application of quantitative analysis (one-way ANOVA) to the data collected
(Dotsch, Kokocinski, Knerr, Rascher, Rascher & Weigel, 2008).
The goal of this proposal is to study the prevalence of obesity among school children 6-12 years old in Pittsburgh Public Schools, and to identify any variation as per age, gender, place of residence, and type of school. Obesity is usually defined as more than 20 percent above ideal weight for a particular height and age ("Obesity,"). This proposal is addressed to meet the needs of children who have become obese due to environmental factors. If we can alter a few key and relatively simple areas in the lives of individuals, reinforce this within the schools and community, and re-evaluate the messages being sent in our culture, American school children will soon see an end to an excessive weight gain.
The results of this survey are important for the development of evidence-based practice guidelines and the overall process will have an impact on the clinical practice, research and dietetic policy.
School children between 6-12 years old will be sampled using stratified random sampling (SRS) with cumulative population proportionate from each school (cluster) of four districts. A total of 20 clusters will be selected by systematic sampling. The clusters spread out geographically by schools, and then the sample starts at a random cluster and then takes every 10th cluster in the list. First, take a separate SRS in each stratum to allow separate conclusions about each stratum. Then, a stratified sample will have a smaller margin of error than an SRS of the same size. Data will be analyzed using Body Mass Index (BMI- CDC) calculator and/or a .

Summary of Clinical Issue (200-250 words):
Childhood obesity is one of the problems that affect the United States and other developed economies. Obesity among children and youths is widely recognized as an issue that generates a lot of adverse health impacts. For instance, childhood obesity is a major indicator of future mental and physical health problems. In spite of the highest rates of childhood obesity in the country in the last three decades, obesity has been linked to other more serious health problems such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. As nurses and other health professionals continue to grapple with this problem, there are still no clear treatment approaches. Health professionals usually do not have a comprehensive guideline on where to manage the nearly one-third of their populations who present the medical care with obesity that coexists with other medical conditions and problems. Numerous treatment models have been proposed to address this rising public health concern. These approaches often include use of the traditional interventions such as pharmacological interventions. However, overemphasis on one treatment intervention may fail to generate the desired objectives. While the traditional strategies to obesity prevention and management have placed emphasis on medications, wider attention to other dimensions of treatment is necessary. Such treatment interventions may include the multi-tiered or holistic strategies that incorporate both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. For instance, a wider focus should incorporate practices such as assessing the mental health impacts of obesity on the patients. Thus, a public health multi-tiered .
Obesity is quickly becoming one of the most common chronic.docxhopeaustin33688
Obesity is quickly becoming one of the most common chronic diseases among children. These rates have increased at an alarming rate and is a major public health problem because of related physical and psychological comorbidities, including type II diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and mental health disorders. Dramatic increase in the number of overweight and obese children in recent years.
Studies indicate that children's lives may be shortened as a result of this alarming health problem. Estimates state that for any degree of overweight/obesity, younger adults (20-30 years of age) may have greater years of life lost due to obesity than older adults. Childhood obesity has been determined to be an independent risk factor for adult overweight/obesity.
To combat childhood obesity, there is a great need for public health interventions as well as education parents regarding childhood obesity and its consequences. Parents differ on causation of obesity, and differ in focus on nutrition and physical exercise. Many parents in the research do not see obesity as a barrier to physical activity. The parents need to recognize their child as overweight. Prevention is the most effective method for dealing with this growing health concern. The evidence reviewed, confirmed that family-centered interventions were associated with short-term reduction in obesity and improved medical parameters. The goal should be to involve community resources and provider referrals. Nurse Practitioners have a unique role in being the best facilitators to deliver health messages and are able to educate parents and increase awareness about the causes and consequences of childhood obesity.
Parents of young children need to interact with their child's primary healthcare provider for health advice and preventive health information during regularly scheduled physical examinations. It is up to the parents of these young children to combat intervention strategies such as:
a combination of nutritional and activity information, a cognitive-behavioral aspect to the intervention parent-directed activities
limiting sedentary child behaviors, provide positive approaches with children by parents and practitioners (e.g., emphasize positive rewards for healthy behaviors, encourage self-efficacy)
Future research is required to identify moderators and mediators to produce enduring changes in weight status of children.
The Objective was to determine in children who are at risk for becoming overweight or obese, does education with parental involvement on exercise and nutrition compared to individual education with the child alone decrease the risk of developing obesity and the health problems associated with obesity?
(P) In overweight, obese, or at risk young children (2-18years of age) Is family centered education/treatment interventions
(C) versus control or comparison interventions
(O) more effective in decreasing childhood obesity and compli.
I provided background information and research on child nutrition, and I related it to child development theories and application to research, teaching, and working with children. This research paper encompasses human growth and development by sharing how a child's ecological system impacts their wellbeing, such as food programs, school, or family.
Early Childhood Risk and Obesity in Preschool-age Children via Salivary Testing UCLA CTSI
Principal Investigators: Francisco Ramos-Gomez (UCLA) and Robert Jones (University of Minnesota)
UCLA CTSI and University of Minnesota Cross-Institutional Award Projects
The overall goal of our study is to develop an integrated care plan that effectively addresses the shared risk factors of early childhood dental decay, early childhood cavities (ECC) and obesity. It encourages parents of disadvantaged and of minority backgrounds to adopt broad self-management goals and overall comprehensive health-promoting habits. There is a pressing need for community-based participatory early intervention approaches to prevent both early childhood dental decay and obesity at a younger age. Within the recent healthcare environment, oral health (dentistry) may play an important role within the whole community approach to obesity prevention as an entry point for discussing diet and nutrition early on. Some key reasons for the importance of oral health integration into obesity prevention is that children’s oral health diseases share key risk factors with early obesity. In our study, the Infant Oral health visit promotes dietary guidance early in childhood, and oral health promotion is done in a culturally manner, which we use to discuss other broad health-promoting habits. Our immediate goal utilizes a university and community-based team to improve the ability to predict future dental decay in children and integrate oral health risk assessment with broad health-promoting habits that may one day prevent obesity in the key early years of the child development.
EFFECTIVENESS OF SCHOOL DENTAL SCREENING, PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND HEALTH EDUC...DrRipika Sharma
Introduction: The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of school screening, parental knowledge and health education in
stimulating dental attendance among 6 to 10 years old children.
Material and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out, with a sample size of 155 in each group. The study was conducted over a
period of 3 months, baseline clinical findings were assessed using dentition status and plaque index and knowledge of parents was evaluated using a
questionnaire in both the groups. The study group participants received oral health education and educational leaflets were distributed to the
parents. Further after 3 months, the post-intervention improvement was assessed as before. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version
22. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze the data.
Results: The overtime changes in oral health knowledge of parents were significantly different in the study group (p-value <0.001). Highly
significant reduction in Plaque scores was reported in the study group compared to control group (p-value <0.001). Overall there were no
significant differences in DMFT and dmft increments between the groups. The intervention was not effective at reducing the level of active caries
and increasing attendance in the population under study.
Conclusion: Even though the intervention had positive effects on plaque score and and on oral health knowledge of parents, but the rate of
utilization was low. We need additional efforts addressing another individual, family, and community level factors to make such programs more
fruitful

Literature Review: Childhood Obesity
The prevalence of childhood obesity in the United States has increased at such a rapid rate that this has been considered a serious healthcare issue. This issue has attracted the attention of policy makers, government agencies, and the community. Due to the extent of the problem, a large number of researchers have investigated a number of factors relating to childhood obesity. One of the factors that have been investigated is the impact of changing the attitudes of the patients towards obesity and lifestyle factors that cause a risk factor. In this study, the main factor being investigated is the impact of education on exercise and diet on patients who have a BMI of more than 30. The following is a summary of a review of the literature used to determine the impact of educating patients on exercise and diet changes.
Comparison of Research Questions
Most of the literature analyzed for this study focuses on the intervention strategies for childhood obesity. Cheung et al. seeks to understand the extent of the childhood obesity in America. The research asks about the incidence of childhood obesity in America in a bid to demonstrate the extent of the problem.
Ickes et al. (2014) research question compares the intervention strategies used in the American schools and international ones. The main aim of this study is to determine the gaps in the intervention used in American school ...

Summary of Clinical Issue (200-250 words):
Childhood obesity is one of the problems that affect the United States and other developed economies. Obesity among children and youths is widely recognized as an issue that generates a lot of adverse health impacts. For instance, childhood obesity is a major indicator of future mental and physical health problems. In spite of the highest rates of childhood obesity in the country in the last three decades, obesity has been linked to other more serious health problems such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. As nurses and other health professionals continue to grapple with this problem, there are still no clear treatment approaches. Health professionals usually do not have a comprehensive guideline on where to manage the nearly one-third of their populations who present the medical care with obesity that coexists with other medical conditions and problems. Numerous treatment models have been proposed to address this rising public health concern. These approaches often include use of the traditional interventions such as pharmacological interventions. However, overemphasis on one treatment intervention may fail to generate the desired objectives. While the traditional strategies to obesity prevention and management have placed emphasis on medications, wider attention to other dimensions of treatment is necessary. Such treatment interventions may include the multi-tiered or holistic strategies that incorporate both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. For instance, a wider focus should incorporate practices such as assessing the mental health impacts of obesity on the patients. Thus, a public health multi-tiered .
Obesity is quickly becoming one of the most common chronic.docxhopeaustin33688
Obesity is quickly becoming one of the most common chronic diseases among children. These rates have increased at an alarming rate and is a major public health problem because of related physical and psychological comorbidities, including type II diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and mental health disorders. Dramatic increase in the number of overweight and obese children in recent years.
Studies indicate that children's lives may be shortened as a result of this alarming health problem. Estimates state that for any degree of overweight/obesity, younger adults (20-30 years of age) may have greater years of life lost due to obesity than older adults. Childhood obesity has been determined to be an independent risk factor for adult overweight/obesity.
To combat childhood obesity, there is a great need for public health interventions as well as education parents regarding childhood obesity and its consequences. Parents differ on causation of obesity, and differ in focus on nutrition and physical exercise. Many parents in the research do not see obesity as a barrier to physical activity. The parents need to recognize their child as overweight. Prevention is the most effective method for dealing with this growing health concern. The evidence reviewed, confirmed that family-centered interventions were associated with short-term reduction in obesity and improved medical parameters. The goal should be to involve community resources and provider referrals. Nurse Practitioners have a unique role in being the best facilitators to deliver health messages and are able to educate parents and increase awareness about the causes and consequences of childhood obesity.
Parents of young children need to interact with their child's primary healthcare provider for health advice and preventive health information during regularly scheduled physical examinations. It is up to the parents of these young children to combat intervention strategies such as:
a combination of nutritional and activity information, a cognitive-behavioral aspect to the intervention parent-directed activities
limiting sedentary child behaviors, provide positive approaches with children by parents and practitioners (e.g., emphasize positive rewards for healthy behaviors, encourage self-efficacy)
Future research is required to identify moderators and mediators to produce enduring changes in weight status of children.
The Objective was to determine in children who are at risk for becoming overweight or obese, does education with parental involvement on exercise and nutrition compared to individual education with the child alone decrease the risk of developing obesity and the health problems associated with obesity?
(P) In overweight, obese, or at risk young children (2-18years of age) Is family centered education/treatment interventions
(C) versus control or comparison interventions
(O) more effective in decreasing childhood obesity and compli.

Early Childhood Risk and Obesity in Preschool-age Children via Salivary Testing UCLA CTSI
Principal Investigators: Francisco Ramos-Gomez (UCLA) and Robert Jones (University of Minnesota)
UCLA CTSI and University of Minnesota Cross-Institutional Award Projects
The overall goal of our study is to develop an integrated care plan that effectively addresses the shared risk factors of early childhood dental decay, early childhood cavities (ECC) and obesity. It encourages parents of disadvantaged and of minority backgrounds to adopt broad self-management goals and overall comprehensive health-promoting habits. There is a pressing need for community-based participatory early intervention approaches to prevent both early childhood dental decay and obesity at a younger age. Within the recent healthcare environment, oral health (dentistry) may play an important role within the whole community approach to obesity prevention as an entry point for discussing diet and nutrition early on. Some key reasons for the importance of oral health integration into obesity prevention is that children’s oral health diseases share key risk factors with early obesity. In our study, the Infant Oral health visit promotes dietary guidance early in childhood, and oral health promotion is done in a culturally manner, which we use to discuss other broad health-promoting habits. Our immediate goal utilizes a university and community-based team to improve the ability to predict future dental decay in children and integrate oral health risk assessment with broad health-promoting habits that may one day prevent obesity in the key early years of the child development.
EFFECTIVENESS OF SCHOOL DENTAL SCREENING, PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND HEALTH EDUC...DrRipika Sharma
Introduction: The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of school screening, parental knowledge and health education in
stimulating dental attendance among 6 to 10 years old children.
Material and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out, with a sample size of 155 in each group. The study was conducted over a
period of 3 months, baseline clinical findings were assessed using dentition status and plaque index and knowledge of parents was evaluated using a
questionnaire in both the groups. The study group participants received oral health education and educational leaflets were distributed to the
parents. Further after 3 months, the post-intervention improvement was assessed as before. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version
22. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze the data.
Results: The overtime changes in oral health knowledge of parents were significantly different in the study group (p-value <0.001). Highly
significant reduction in Plaque scores was reported in the study group compared to control group (p-value <0.001). Overall there were no
significant differences in DMFT and dmft increments between the groups. The intervention was not effective at reducing the level of active caries
and increasing attendance in the population under study.
Conclusion: Even though the intervention had positive effects on plaque score and and on oral health knowledge of parents, but the rate of
utilization was low. We need additional efforts addressing another individual, family, and community level factors to make such programs more
fruitful

The Impact of TV Advertisements on Elementary School Children's Food Behaviors I.
Introduction a. Motivation to study this topic • Estimates suggest 37 percent of all school-
age children are overweight or obese (Harris, et al.) • Longitudinal studies support
television screen time is directly related to increased risk for children being overweight or
obese (Robinson, et al.) • Unhealthy food advertising comprises a majority of television food
advertisements (Story, et al.) • Review of current literature can provide an opportunity to
better understand the relationship between food television advertisements and obesity
risks in elementary school children to guide public health policies b. Objectives • To
determine the public health implication of TV advertisements on elementary school-age
children’s food consumption behaviors c. Organizational overview of paper • Review of the
current literature regarding television advertising and its effect on children’s attitudes and
behaviors regarding food consumption and its relationship to obesity risk • Review of five
primary research articles concerning the subject of television advertising and child food
consumption effects • Presentation of the results of the five primary research articles
reviewed • Discussion of results, noted gaps and limitations, and conclusions drawn from
evidence II. Literature Review a. Background information on topic • Childhood obesity
3. represents a persistent public health crisis in the U.S. affecting more than a third of
elementary school-age children • Causes of childhood obesity are multifactorial and involve
physical activity behaviors, food consumption behaviors, nutritional knowledge, parental
and peer influences, food access, and genetics
• Excessive television viewing has been identified as a risk for child obesity both due to its
association with sedentary activity as well as food consumption behaviors • Television food
advertisements have been shown to affect food consumption attitudes and behaviors •
Public health recommendations concerning television food advertising have not been
adequately defined to guide clear public policies b. Specific information to assist the
reader’s understanding • Television food advertising includes ads promoting unhealthy
foods, healthy foods, and food education • Potential impacts of television food advertising
on children include effects on nutritional knowledge, attitudes about food types, and food
consumption behaviors c. Key terms • Body mass index is a measure of calculation based
on height and weight used to assess obesity • Overweight children are defined as having a
BMI greater than 25 kg/m2 • Obese children are defined as having a BMI greater than 30
kg/m2 III. Analysis Approach Description of search methodologies, search databases,
inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, and key words to be described. a. Harris, et al. • AIM:
To assess the effect that watching food ads versus non-food ads had on children’s eating
behaviors while watching television • SUBJECTS: A total of 118 children, ages 7-11 years,
were randomized to an experimental group and a control group • METHODS: Children were
randomized to an intervention group that watched a 14-minute cartoon with food ads while
the other control group watched a similar length
cartoon with non-food ads. Both groups were provided snacks and water for consumption if
they chose. Measures of snack consumption were assessed using ANOVA statistical analysis.
• RESEARCH TYPE: Randomized controlled trial b. Dixon, et al. • AIM: To assess the
impact of television viewing of various television ads on children’s knowledge, attitudes,
and behaviors concerning healthy and unhealthy foods • SUBJECTS: A total of 919 5th and
6th graders in Australia sampled by survey and enrolled in experimental trial involving 3
treatment groups and one control group • METHODS: Pre-test survey regarding television
viewing habits and eating attitudes and behavior was collected a week before the
experiment. Children were then randomized into one of four groups: (1) junk food ads, (2)
junk food and healthy food ads, (3) healthy food ads, and (4) no food ads (control). Pretest
responses and post-test responses were analyzed by AONVA statistics to determine
variations in responses based on existing knowledge and behaviors and the interventions •
RESEARCH TYPE: Cross-sectional survey and randomized controlled trial c. Andreyeva, et
al. • AIM: To assess the impact of watching television ads promoting soft drinks, fast food,
and cereals on consumption of these food types in elementary school-age children •
SUBJECTS: Large cross-sectional survey of 55 consumer markets involving thousands of
children in elementary school grades collected from the Early Childhood Longitudinal
Survey • METHODS: Data from the ECLS was compared to Neilson Company data regarding
television viewing habits matched with television content involving ads related to fast food,
cereals and soft drinks. This data was then compared to body weight and food
consumption behaviors identified in the cross-sectional survey. Statistical analysis using
4. ANOVA was used to determine significance. • RESEARCH TYPE: Cross-sectional surveys d.
Hanks, et al. • AIM: To determine the impact of healthy food advertisements on healthy
food choices and behaviors among elementary school-age children • SUBJECTS: Ten
elementary schools participated in this experiment involving over 22,000 elementary
school-age children. • METHODS: Schools were divided into three groups with one
displaying a banner along its salad bar depicting vegetable cartoon characters. The second
group provided students with a short segment health education cartoon featuring vegetable
characters. The third group received both of the above interventions. Pre-intervention food
behaviors and post-intervention food behaviors were assessed and compared by statistical
analysis. • RESEARCH TYPE: Pre-test, post-test research design with multiple interventions
e. Halford, et al. • AIM: To determine if food ads increase food consumption behaviors in
elementary children • SUBJECTS: A total of 42 children ages 9-11 years from Liverpool were
recruited and divided into three groups based on body mass index: lean, overweight, and
obese. • METHODS: Pre-experimental questionnaires were administered to determine food
consumption and television viewing patterns. Half of the participants watched cartoon
followed by 8 food ads while the other half were watched the same cartoon and 8 non-food
ads. Participants were then assessed in a post-test format to determine which ads they
recalled watching. The participants were then invited back and
performed the same experiment but switched the ad content. Data was then collected from
all students and compared based on body weight and ad recognition. • RESEARCH TYPE:
Observational, crossover design IV. Results a. Harris, et al. • Children watching food ads
consumed 45 percent more than those viewing non-food ads. The children’s consumption
behavioral changes were not related to hunger. The authors concluded that food ads prime
automated eating behaviors in children and are unrelated to food brand being advertised.
b. Dixon, et al. • Findings showed that increased television use and increased exposure to
television ds promoting junk foods were associated with a more positive attitude about junk
foods. Likewise, increased television use alone was linked to increased junk food
consumption. However, ads for healthy foods also increased attitudes and beliefs for
healthy foods. The authors concluded that varying television ad content could be an
effective way to promote healthy food attitudes and behaviors in children and reduce junk
food preferences. c. Andreyeva, et al. • Results demonstrated that for every 100 soft drink
ads watched, consumption of soft drinks increased by 9.4 percent. For every 100 fast food
ads seen, consumption increased 1.1 percent. No correlation existed between ad exposure
and overall body weight, but fast food ads were more commonly viewed in children with
BMI meeting overweight criteria. The authors concluded that unhealth food ad viewing
increasing consumption of unhealthy foods, and this consumption is junk food group
specific to an extent.
d. Hanks, et al. • The researchers found that children exposed to the vegetable cartoon
banners increased vegetable food consumption by 90.5 percent. They also found that
children exposed to both interventions (group 3) increased vegetable consumption by
239.2 percent. They concluded that healthy food ads involving age-appropriate content was
effective in improving healthy vegetable consumption in elementary school0age children.
e. Halford, et al. • Results of the final analysis showed that the obese group of children
5. recognized more of the food ads than lean children. Likewise, those children who
recognized food ads had higher food consumption behaviors. Finally, all groups increased
food consumption after seeing the food ads. The authors concluded that exposure to food
ads cues food intake behaviors, and also that some children have a heightened alertness to
these ads. V. Discussion a. Heading for discussion • Relationship between television food
advertisements and food consumption in elementary school children b. Gaps in the
research reviewed • Each of the five articles examined the relationship between food ads
on television and children’s attitudes and behaviors regarding food consumption. However,
variations exist regarding experimental designs, ad content, measures of children’s
behaviors and attitudes, and duration of interventions. Gaps therefore
exist regarding the degree of influence these ads have on children’s food consumption
behaviors. c. Overall strengths and weaknesses of the research articles • Of the five
research experiments, strengths included large participant numbers, sound experimental
methodologies, positive associations in each between television ad viewing and changes in
food consumption behaviors, and detailed statistical analyses • Weaknesses of the studies
demonstrated significant variance in measures in assessing food consumption and attitude
among participants, variations in the content of television ads seen, and variations in the
duration of the interventions d. Needed future work in the field • Greater consistency in
metrics used to assess children’s attitudes and behaviors regarding food consumption is
needed • Longer duration studies to assess long-term impacts of television ad changes
would be beneficial • Additional studies to assess the impact of healthy food ads versus the
impact of unhealthy food ads would help identify weighted effects of each • Studies are
needed to better define the role television ads can serve in relation to other anti-obesity
interventions including cost assessments VI. Conclusions a. Summary of objectives and
approach of this paper
• The review explored the effect that television advertisements have on food consumption
attitudes and behaviors among elementary school children by examining five primary
research studies b. Major findings of this paper • The research shows that television ads
clearly affect children’s food consumption attitudes and behaviors in both positive and
negative ways and can serve as a strategy to guide healthier behaviors. However, the degree
of impact this has in reducing overall obesity among children is not well defined c.
Important implications of this paper’s findings • Further studies are needed to better define
the role that food advertisement policies may play in reducing childhood obesity among
elementary school children. The positive correlations noted in these five research studies
support further investigation into how such policies may be implemented and how their
effect measured d. Recommendations based upon the review of these 5 research articles •
The evidence supports practices among educators and parents to limit exposure to
unhealthy food television advertisements among elementary school children while
encouraging exposure to healthy food ads and those providing nutritional education.
Policymakers may also consider public health policies to place restrictions on unhealthy
food ads, but further evidence is likely needed before the public is convinced of these
approaches. Researchers, as such, should further explore the degree of impact these policies
could have by assessing effects over longer periods of time and in combination with other
6. interventions.
