Price, James H.; And Others
Journal of School Health, v57 n8 p332-36 Oct 1987
Responses of 250 school nurses to a questionnaire regarding childhood obesity revealed that most believed that normal weight was important to children's health and that they should be role models by maintaining normal weight. Most also found child and parent weight loss counseling difficult and that schools should do more to alleviate childhood obesity. (CB)
