I. Introduction
A. Topic
1) Research question: Is there correlation between mental health and childhood obesity?
2) Working thesis: Mental health and wellness has correlations with childhood obesity and
overweight which is a real health concern in the current world. Statistics show that the level of
childhood obesity and overweight has persistently increased though various suggestions on its
control have been documented. Proper nutrition and exercise have been for a long time taken as
measures to comport these health condition and my proposal is based on looking into the mental
health and wellness that contributes to children and even adolescence being overweight as well
as maintaining this condition once they are in it.
3) My View: My view on measures to control childhood obesity is based on improving the
mental health and wellness of children and adolescence who have the condition as well as to who
have normal body weight. Apart from physical exercise, genetic makeup and nutrition that have
been suggested to contribute to childhood obesity have a strong feeling that mental health and
wellness must be the core factor that need to be looked into in order to tackle with the crisis of
childhood obesity and overweight. I am strongly convinced that if factors such as good selfimage, improved self-esteem as well as development of policies and sensitization of the entire
community i.e. researchers ,parents and even teachers towards striving to maintain mental health
among the obese children and adolescence can serve the best in the fight against this health
condition. Running head: PROPOSAL PITCH FOR CHILDHOOD OBESITY 3 B. Context
Childhood obesity and overweight is a topic that is worth to be studied and even more funds
given studies on its controlled and eradication if possible because of the possible reasons. To
begin with the condition has been observed to increase steadily currently as compared to the past
years when incidences were very low indicating that there is need of better understanding causes
and measures to be taken. Also considering the fact that childhood obesity comes with a lot of
associated conditions such as diabetes and even high blood pressure on the affected it?s important
to study the topic in order to improve general health of the children and even reduce mortality
rates. In addition to the above, children are majorly the determinants of the future of any society.
This can be said so since children who experience this condition in the early ages are likely to
develop it in adulthood age and this will affect their economic as well as social contribution.
C. Audience
1) My primary audiences this are my fellow young parents, teachers as well as medical care
providers. This is because the above individuals have great responsibility in nurturing the mental
health and wellness of children and adults suffering from childhood obesity.
2) My secondary audiences are my fellow students and my professor. Amongst them might have
been affected by the condition or even their siblings, friends and relatives. In addition this will
affect their future research trends on childhood obesity.
3) My audiences agree with my opinion that mental health and wellness has correlation with
childhood obesity. However other hold to different opinions concerning this condition and
believe that diet, exercise and genetic makeup of an individual are related to childhood obesity. Running head: PROPOSAL PITCH FOR CHILDHOOD OBESITY 4 II. Evidence
A. The research that I have already gathered is concerning how self-image of a child as well as
adolescence with this condition affect the possibility of the affected being able to recover from
the condition .Also I have done research on other health complications such as hypertension,
poor appetite syndrome is associated with the mental health of an individual.
B. The research that I intend to undertake include the following: How policies can be formulated
to meet the mental health and wellness of affected children. Also I intend to research on ways to
improve the total quality of life of the affected children by the parents and even teachers. Lastly I
intend to research on ways weight-base stigmatization and teasing can be incorporated in the
society in order improve the mental health and wellness of affected children.
III. Conclusion
The proposal is set to achieve the following;
1. Possible causes of the rise in child obesity in the society today,
2. Ways that the young parents contribute to their children?s overweight,
3. Ways that the young parents can express their love to children without using the practices that
can encourage child obesity,
4. Establish a legal framework and policies that help to improve the mental health and wellness.
5. Give recommendations on curbing child obesity.
I am looking forward to the approval of the above project proposals so as to enable me continue
with my research. It could be my deepest pleasure to complete my research and come up with a
life time solution that is first denying our young one their right to fulfillment. Running head: PROPOSAL PITCH FOR CHILDHOOD OBESITY 5 IV. References
