Youth Nutrition and Physical Activity
Mapping Project
| Awardee: | St. Mary Medical Center Foundation/Families in Good Health |
| Partner: | Margie Kagawa-Singer, UCLA School of Public Health and Asian American Studies |
Abstract:
Under the supervision of the UCLA campus partner, UCLA Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) and youth in Long Beach, California, will conduct the work in producing Asset Maps that will show locations and establishments in the low-income, inner city, that are conducive and non-conducive to healthy eating and physical activity. Using the Asset Maps, the GSR and the youth will develop a powerpoint presentation, which will be presented to local community-based agencies, other youth groups, parent associations, and elected local, regional, and state officials. The GSR and youth will gather recommendations for action and the GSR will write up a final report, as calls to action, which will be disseminated for use.
