By empowering the children to take responsibility for their condition, they will be more successful in school and also be aware of their health needs. Disease management programs, if marketed effectively would save the communities a substantial amount of money in hospital visits every year. Most importantly, the profound effect this could have on the children who live in these communities that would have better lives because of it.

Childhood Obesity: A Preventable Epidemic Dr. Andrew H. Locke University of Connecticut Childhood Obesity: A Preventable Epidemic Over the course of recent years, childhood obesity has become a modern problem of epidemic proportions.

Just in the past 30 years among American adolescents alone, obesity rates have tripled in size which consequentially increases complications resulting in the possibility of early mortality. Furthermore, a child suffering from obesity may live and develop weight-related debilitating diseases such as type-2 diabetes, high
