Tonight we are going to give you a Tutorial on how to search for information including: How to use appropriate source information, describe the scope and sources Evaluate products during a library search demonstrate mastery concepts Locate, examine and analyze various sources While showing you our research process Introduction Script

Childhood Obesity We will describe our research in 3 different scenarios based on parents looking for credible research on Childhood Obesity. Our topics Include: Cause Effect Prevention

Jane Smith is the mother of a child who is starting school. She is curious about the contributing factors of childhood obesity. Causes

CAUSES

Jane Smith was at her child's pediatrician’s office where she read a newsletter from Harvard Medical School. It stated: “According to some surveys, America’s children spend an average of 6 ½ hours a day with electronic media.” (A prescription for better health; go alfresco, 2010) CAUSES OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Since Jane is the mother of a small child beginning grade school, she wanted to know what other factors could play into childhood obesity. She knew the obvious was eating properly but decided to go over the nutrition pyramid chart so she could become familiar with different food groups. Jane decided to search Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have a web page at: this website allows you to search updated information from disease and conditions to life stages and populations. It offers many different publications as they relate to multiple health topics. CAUSES OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Jane realized that the food pyramid changed since she was a child. “One size doesn't fit all. MyPyramid offers personalized eating plans and interactive tools to help you plan/assess your food choices based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.” (MyPyramid.gov Steps to a healthier you, 2010) If you put the mouse cursor on a specific color (i.e. the color orange represents Grains) it will not only tell what each color represents but it also gives intake/portion information. CAUSES OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Jane still wanted to learn a little more and decided to go to a public library. Once there the Librarian directed her to the online catalog and typed in the subject of causes of childhood obesity and several books came up. Jane remembered to use the Dewy Decimal System when locating the books in the library, which made them easier to find. CAUSES OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Since the library has computers she was advised to log in as a guest to Galileo. Galileo Scholar is a online search engine of the University System of Georgia. It allows students to view a wide range of databases, journals, encyclopedias, dictionaries and any other resource that may be needed or referenced on multiple subjects as they apply. CAUSES OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Ginger Bell has a child who is very self conscious of her weight. Ginger wants to know, aside the obvious low self esteem, what other effects her daughter faces from being overweight EFFECTS

Ginger is enrolled at Shorter University. She opened her Galileo database and began to search. She entered keywords: effects and childhood, and obesity and searched one database; Academic Search Complete for articles, some peer-reviewed, and all topics It took her to many articles and she chose, number 2: to get an article with information on effects. EFFECTS OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY

She read the abstract and she found links to journals

Ginger also went to on-line Library sources which took her to: Livingstone Library She chose Shorter Galileo Journals A-Z, then chose Health Reports, Find Cited Articles, Find Citation and she was able to locate websites EFFECTS OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY

PREVENTION

CHILDHOOD OBESITY - PREVENTION Childhood Obesity no doubt is becoming an epidemic in our society. Experts are linking this problem not only to our environment but also the types and amounts of food we have allowed our children to consume. It is time to get serious about the overwhelming problem that most children may face. In our research we will attempt to uncover cultural causes, effects and name a few of many organizations to help prevent Childhood Obesity.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY - PREVENTION The part parents play towards prevention Breastfeeding Breastfeeding, with its many benefits for mothers and babies, is recognized as a way to reduce childhood overweight and related chronic diseases. Several studies provide evidence that any breastfeeding as well as breastfeeding for longer durations protect against overweight in childhood, although the mechanism by which this protection occurs is not clearly understood. Despite the need for a better understanding of the relationship between breastfeeding and childhood overweight, a number of studies conclude that promoting breastfeeding would be a reasonable strategy for reducing childhood overweight.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY - PREVENTION

Obesity is easier to prevent than to treat, and prevention focuses in large measure on parent education. Children are getting less exercise compared to earlier years. Parents should consider monitoring the amount of time children watch television, play video games and use the computer. Encouraging bike riding and other outdoor activities regularly gives children the exercise needed to help prevent obesity. Due to the economy, more mothers are out in the working which makes it harder to prepare healthy home-cooked meals. We are purchasing quick meals that our children can prepare themselves. Usually they are packed with tons of calories, fats and sugars. Parents should start considering preparing wholesome meals in advance. These meals could easily be packed and stored for future use. This process alone will eliminate those unhealthy quick meals. Replacing chips, candy, cookies and other junk foods with veggies and fresh fruit can ultimately help prevent childhood obesity. Active parents, encourages active children Parents that eat healthy, encourages children that eat healthier.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY - PREVENTION The Georgia WIC Program is the nation's seventh largest Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. The Food and Nutrition Service administers the program at the federal level and provides funds to state agencies for program implementation and administration. At the state level, the Department of Community Health, Division of Public Health, WIC Branch administers the program. Georgia Department of Community Health (2008) At A Glance. Retrieved July 22,
