Projected Progression of Prevalence of Obesity †MyAssignmenthelp

Question: Discuss about the Projected Progression of Prevalence of Obesity. Answer: Introduction: There are numerous amount of study has been done to find out the relation between the obesity and socio-economic status in different parts of the world and few of them are mentioned below. The World Bank is funding numerous amount of researches that has found facts that can help to find out the relation between economic status and obesity. However, those researches has several research gaps, related to the methodology, selection of participants and method of evaluation, data collection and analysis that decreases the effectiveness of the project. According to Dinsa et al. (2012), they studies the obesity pattern in low income and middle-income nations and tried to find out the SES and its effect on obesity. The study uses different SES indicators to relate the SES to obesity; first SES indicator was wealth and income and second was educational status. Hence, the outcome depicted different patterns for both these things and resulted in a confusing outcome, where wealth SES is related to obesity but the educational level is not. This was the first research gap of this literature, as the SES level is directly related to obesity. In another study done by Gibbs and Forste (2014), researchers were to find out the reason of obesity in the children belonging to low SES society. They carried out surveys in those areas, where the children were growing up and were getting affected to obesity. The team of the researchers find out that the both indications of SES that is wealth and income and educational level is responsible for the obesity in children. From infancy, the children are not breast fed, as the economic status of the mother was not very good to be able to consume nutritional product. Hence, the children lack the advantages of breast-feeding and developed obesity in them. However, the research lacks a proper method to assess the perfect result for the study, such as a proper data collection method or data interpretation method (Hillier-Brown et al., 2014). Further, in a study the researchers looked for BMI differences across the state irrespective of race, gender, creed, ethnicity, age and socio-economic status in the United States of America (Grabner, 2012). The researchers analyzes micro-level of data and collected them from the three reputed data centers of the states. They analyzes the data of socio-economic status, both based on wealth and based on educational level. They estimated the BMI time trends, increase and decrease trends, distributional shifts and incremental associations with SES. The results they acquired indicated that women has higher rate of SES-BMI effect on their obesity than men do. Hence, they identified the relation of obesity and higher or lower SES level. however, the research gap was still persisting in such researches as the researchers were not focusing on the fact that affected population is aware of obesity and the reason of it or not. Therefore, this research also lacked the information about the reason of obesity. All these research articles were focused to find out the relation between socio-economic status and obesity and were destined to find out what are the SES indicators that determine this trend. This leads to research gap in their project. The prime aim of this research proposal is to find out the proposed research question within the proposed budget and timeframe. This research will focus on the assessed research gaps present in the abovementioned research articles and will try to comply with the proposed research questions. Further, the methodology will be population-based study where the common Australians will participate in the assessment process. Data collection and analysis will be simple and effective and from the finding, it will be easier to interpret the research questions. Research plan and methodology (Including ethical consideration) The research aim in this case has been decided from the commencement of the project. The prime aim is to determine the relation between SES and obesity, reason of obesity if the younger generation is aware of the adverse effects of inactivity and unhealthy lifestyle. These research aims need specific objectives to find out the reason behind the level of SES affecting the Australian youth (Kasahara et al., 2014). The research strategy is to target the younger generation as obesity is affecting their capabilities to perform and make changes in the benefit of Australia. A specific location will be chosen or an online survey will be conducted to implement the research strategy and then intervention, coming out of the survey will be applied to connect to the youth as obesity make people shy, stressed and alone. Therefore, such youth will be pushed to come out and speak about their problem and the reason of their condition (Steyerberg et al., 2013). This will let those common people understand that obesity is curable and can be cured completely. After that, those young participants will be made to fill a questionnaire consisting of questions that can clear their level of inactivity and unhealthy lifestyle. These questionnaires will be distributed to a large section of young people of every community to understand the SES level of that community. This research will continue for 6 months and will co ver the entire community. Resources are also important factor to take the research to a number of people so that they understand the severity of the problem and take part in the process to overcome it. In this case, the resources chosen are social medial and mass media to explain the population about the severity of the disorder. Further, those campaigns in social and mass media will appeal the population in that research area to take part in the research intervention. Other resources will be research camps around the research city or in municipal corporation offices to carry out surveys and interviews (Punch, 2013). A quantitative method has been chosen to find out the proposed research questions, for the proposed research proposal. Quantitative methodology find out the results using interventions in which quantity determines the success or failure of it (Cohen, Manion Morrison, 2013). The quantitative method that has been chosen for the research is a population based approach including surveys and questionnaire to talk to as much as survivor to find out a concise data. The surveys of this process will consist 10 to 15 closed ended questions that the participants will be answering. Their answer will be with minimum bias and truthful, as they will not be informed about the process. Data Collection This intervention will continue for 5 months. The first month of the research will be completely dedicated to advertisements, recruitment and publicity of the research as the research needed as many people to come out from different SES level and take part in the process. After wards, the five month after the planning phase will be dedicated to implementation and intervention for the research project. A health expert to understand their knowledge about obesity and its effect on health will interview the participants coming out of their house and speaking about the health problem. the data collection will be done by recruiting people for collecting data. The expert will also try to figure out the reason for the participants inactiveness in daily life. After the patient fills the survey form, the data will be collected and will be stored according to the locality. the question will be based on participants lifestyle, their food and diet habit, activities and their knowledge about health and wellbeing. The collected data will be assessed depending on the location from which they have been collected. Further, the data will be arranged according to their location at first. Then the response to each closed ended question will be collected simultaneously to understand the average response to that question. This same procedure will be followed for the entire survey set so that the average trend for that research question can be obtained. Ethical consideration Researchers differ widely on ethical issue during research procedure. The difference is about the dos and donts of research study and hence, ethical consideration become important in case of research proposals. Ethics apply at each step of the research study such as taking consent, applying methods that does not harm any individual. The prime reason to uphold the research ethics while continuing with some research is just because of Goodwill and Trust (Ritchie et al., 2013). Goodwill of the individual participants, who contribute in the research procedure and volunteer to find out the research question with their own behavior, attitude, awareness and support. Trust is also a factor that let researchers explain the entire research to the participants so that they can participate freely in the research. Hence, these ethical values need to be present in both the stakeholders of a successful research (Harriss Atkinson, 2013). In this research proposal as well, ethical consideration has been prioritized as the participants deserves every right to know what they will go through and what process the researchers will be following to get their answers. The researchers will take of different ethical considerations such as- consent, privacy and confidentiality, deception, protection from harm, data protection, affiliation and conflicts of interest. These ethical sections will help to complete an independent and concise research; consequences of violating research will lead to punishments from the government and the research license will be ceased (Lehnert, Park Singh, 2015). The first priority of this research will be asking about the consent from the participants, as it is the most important step before any population based research project. After that, the researchers will undertake a training session of the participants so that they understand about the research procedure and methodology. To carry out an unbiased and effective survey, experienced healthcare professionals will be hired. Therefore, this will be the ethical consideration for the proposed research article.
