After talking to Colette Lee about what patients in Alameda County would most benefit from, we determined that focusing on HFCS would be a little too specific to benefit the majority of people. Colette suggested focusing on the general topic of obesity and heart disease, as in most of Alameda County the rate of obesity among children is roughly 35%, and heart disease is the #1 killer of Americans today. This is a topic that I am very passionate about, so I have decided to refocus my study in order to benefit the largest number of people possible.
Problem Statement: Obesity and related health issues such as heart disease and Type II diabetes are on the rise among Americans, yet many patients of Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, CA, are unaware of how to prevent such health issues.
Purpose Statement: The purpose of this study was to raise awareness among these patients about healthy ways to prevent heart disease, Type II diabetes, and obesity.
