. During the past few years schools have made significant changes in providing better nutrition and increasing opportunities for physical activity during the school day. Now it is time to begin reaching out to the PARENTS since they are the ones buying groceries, preparing meals and choosing activities at home.
In the fall we will have the opportunity to partner with Yvonne Johnston, MS, MPH, RN, FNP in her doctoral endeavor. You may know Yvonne from her role at Binghamton University as a Clinical Associate Professor at the Decker School of Nursing. She has also partnered with the Steps program on various projects including the Steps Youth Survey, the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) and Mission Meltways.
In the fall Yvonne would like to examine parental and student perceptions of weight, fitness and the FitnessGram information which will help us determine what our next steps should be. Is this project something in which you would be interested?
