Description

In the United States the prevalence of obesity among children had doubled in the past three decades. The community needs to be made aware of the epidemic of obesity in the adolescent population and the need to address this problem. Nurses and nursing students need to become engaged in the community. Nursing students in the associate degree nursing program at McNeese State University were involved in a service-learning project that included being trained in interviewing skills, collecting height, weight and determining BMI in the classroom setting.
