Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Having students participate in a program at school could promote peer support and allow a safe environment to promote change. Knowing what the students do after school may help to understand reasons for weight gain, but the knowledge alone won't change behaviors. Informing students to increase their activity may not be well perceived and only adds to feelings of low self-esteem. Monitoring food intake of specific students is not an appropriate intervention and may lead to additional bullying by other students.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Eating breakfast provides important nutrients for growth and is linked with good outcomes at school. Doughnuts are not a nutritional snack and contain high-sugar content. Eating lunch early may satisfy the feeling of hunger but children will not have food at lunchtime. Snacks are usually high in carbohydrates and sugar and do not provide the nutrients needed for growth.
