5. Initial Engagement and Progress
School-based BMI screening and surveillance program implemented statewide in
Limited research on school-based BMI screenings suggests that notification alone is unlikely to have an impact on pediatric obesity.
School nurse expressed concerns of the challenges of BMI screenings.
To date, we have had the opportunity to meet and connect with the school principal, school nurse, school administrators, and parents of students at the school.
We have learned more about the perceived challenges from each of these individuals and have used this feedback to help inform the partnership.
