EVERYONE SHOULD CHOOSE A COLOR/this document will formatted and cleaned up

Stephen - Physical activity portion

Petagaye - Education portion

Daniel - Nutrition program

Bonaparte - Review of literature

Luann - I will fill in wherever needed

I. Specific Aims, hypotheses/objectives - Luann

Describe the (notional) community where this project will occur: demographics, socioeconomic

conditions, findings of previous community health assessments; (1 page).

Things to think about: we have to narrow a “specific” population

- Are we an organization? What type? We could be a school as we talked about

So, is the school applying for the grant? If so..

We have schools that teach 5-14 years - THIS COULD BE THE TARGET POPULATION

Goal: EXAMPLE - What do you think?

This project will target economically disadvantaged school-aged children from

“kindergarten to junior high?”. It will ensure that students have access to physical and

nutritional programs that extends into lunch period, after school and summer

opportunities. The lack of school policies and environmental supports for physical

activity and healthy eating contribute to this ongoing epidemic of obesity among school-

aged children; especially those with lower socioeconomic status. The goal is to teach

healthy behaviors and social skills to increase physical activity and nutritional eating

during the program. (can be elaborated on).

The (School Name) is a school of (# ).Our population includes, kindergarten to 9th

grade (5-14). The school is located in a (rural, urban, suburban) neighborhood in the

community of (Brooklyn NY). Childhood obesity rates are soaring throughout the nation

and our community at the (school name) is no exception. Racial/ethnic minority among 
African Americans and Hispanic school-age children are most at risk for unhealthy 
weight gain. Obesity is a risk factor for health outcomes later in life and this program will 
provide dietary and physical activity behaviors to improve these outcomes in our 
community.  Currently there are _____% of our students that are overweight or at risk for 
becoming overweight according to ________. Student fitness scores reveal that only 
_________% of our students demonstrate performance in the “healthy fitness zone” as 
indicated by the latest state physical fitness testing. Quality daily physical education has 
been cited as schools’ best approach to prevention and intervention in the childhood 
obesity crisis. 
 
II. Public Health Significance - Obesity ( > heart disease, type II diabetes etc.) 
(Population) Socioeconomic inequities (lower educational achievement, occupation and 
income) 
Briefly identify the public health concern to be addressed. What is the at-risk population for the 
negative outcome? . What is the prevalence, incidence, and severity of the problem? What are 
the short term and long term outcomes of concern?; (approx. 2 pages).
