A Positive Example of the Effects of Research
on Children and Families
My nephew participated in a study comprised of forty 8- to 11-year-old.The
study is called SMART study. The study was led by researcher Dr. Catherine L.
Davis, of Georgia
Health Science
University. The study
examined the effects of after-school programs, including recreation and
cognitive activities, on children’s health and brain function. My nephew was
chosen to participate in the program because of obesity. The research study
benefited my nephew, he got outside more which caused him to lose weight. He
ate more healthy foods which means his family exercised more and ate healthier.
