A public health nurse is planning a community health education program to decrease the prevalence of childhood obesity in a local community. Which strategy would be the most effective in achieving this goal?
Encourage parents to attend a one-time workshop on creating healthy meals for their children.
Distribute informational pamphlets on proper nutrition and exercise to community residents.
Collaborate with schools and community organizations to implement programs that promote healthy eating habits and physical activity.
Set up a helpline to provide nutritional counseling for families concerned about their children’s weight.
The correct answer focuses on implementing a multifaceted, evidence-based approach involving both education and large-scale collaboration to address the complex nature of childhood obesity. Partnering with schools and community organizations ensures that interventions are sustainable and impactful by promoting healthy eating habits and physical activity across multiple community settings. Other options, while targeting health behaviors, lack the comprehensive, broad-based effort needed to engage and benefit an entire community effectively.
