A Study Design to Examine Teenage Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyles

A study design to examine the relationship between teen obesity and sedentary lifestyles should include a number of factors. A literature review would examine past studies of teen obesity and sedentary lifestyle or activity levels; studies on teen obesity and its causes; and studies on teen lifestyles. The theoretical framework should include a hypothesis and study outline which would take into account other factors which may also be causing teen obesity. Because of the various factors which may be involved, a large study group would be recommended and the survey distribution would be most effective through the school system which has recorded large response rates with other health related surveys in the past. In addition, investigators will have to determine the definitions to be used in the study based on commonly used references, such as BMI, and what indicators they wish to properly measure and compare for a high confidence level in their findings.
