Description
Introduction As the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes continues to increase in adolescents and youth, the number of interventions aiming to attenuate this situation has also increased. Adolescent interventions targeting healthy behaviors have been implemented in school and home environments. Evidence suggests that the most promising approaches for adolescents involve both families and schools and include a combination of physical activity and nutrition or nutrition alone. These interventions have demonstrated significant weight reduction effects, with theoretical framework providing significant impact (Waller, Eiser, Heller, Knowles,&Price, 2005; Katz, O'Connell, Yeh, Nawaz, Njike,&Anderson et al., 2005). Interventions integrating lessons about nutrition, physical activity, and reduction in screen time into the standard curriculum have a more profound effect than those outside of the school day that do not address this content (Gortmaker, Cheung, Peterson, Chomitz, Cradle,&Dart et al., 2006; Mo-suwan, Pongprapai, Junjana, Puetpaiboon, 1998; Burke, Thompson, Taggart, Spickett, Beilin,&Vandongen et al., 1998).
