Qualitative (direct observation, indepth interviews, focus group discussions and photo-voice) and quantitative (closed ended surveys, checklists, anthro - pometry) methods were employed. Results. Formative research key findings, including barriers by levels of the ecological model, were used for designing a program includ - ing environmental strategies to discourage the consumption of energy dense foods and sugar beverages. Conclusion. Formative research was fundamental to developing a context specific obesity prevention program in schools that seeks environment modification and behavior change. 2014 artículo científico 0036-3634 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10632375007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=106 Salud Pública de México application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública Salud Pública de México (México) Num.2 Vol.56 |
