About the study

Healthy lifestyle habits (diet, sleep, screen time and physical activity) are important for good health, wellbeing and healthier weight. But in South Australia, it can be hard to find healthy lifestyle services/programs for children and youth affected by higher weight.  

We want to hear from parents, youth and health professionals about what sorts of services they think are needed to help children and families to eat well, sleep better, spend less time on screens and be more active.  

Who can take part?

1) a parent/caregiver of a youth (aged 0-19 years) who is affected by higher weight, OR

2) a youth aged 16-19 years who is affected by higher weight, OR

3) a registered/qualified health professional involved in the care of children/youth. 

All participants must be located in South Australia and must be able to read and write English.

What’s involved?

Participants are invited to complete an online survey that will take around 15 minutes.
