NUR329: School-Based Health Promotion Plan for Adolescent Obesity

This project presents a comprehensive health promotion plan designed to prevent adolescent obesity within a school setting, targeting boys and girls aged 10-19. The plan encompasses primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies, focusing on nutrition education, physical activity promotion, and reducing sedentary behavior. Key components include educating adolescents about food groups, the importance of physical activity, and the harmful effects of excessive internet use. The plan also involves BMI screening, the development of educational materials, and the implementation of physical activity and dietary interventions for overweight and obese students. Stakeholders include school staff, families, and rehabilitation centers. The plan emphasizes community consultation, utilizing a health message and logo (“Flab to Fabulous”) to promote engagement. Evaluation methods involve pre- and post-intervention feedback forms to assess changes in knowledge and behavior related to obesity, diet, and physical activity. The project underscores the importance of addressing adolescent obesity through integrated, multi-level interventions to improve overall health and quality of life.
