In order to inform local action for health improvement, this pilot study used multiple methods to explore children's perspectives of environmental influences on their eating and physical activity. Thirty-nine children aged 9-11 years from a North London local authority took photos, drew maps, and attended focus groups. We found that the approach engaged children and that each of the methods returned useful, complementary information. The results highlighted a number of areas for local policymakers and practitioners to consider when developing work to prevent childhood obesity. We conclude that these methods of gaining children's views should be further developed and tested.
为了为改善健康的地方行动提供信息，这项试点研究采用多种方法来探究儿童对环境对其饮食和身体活动影响的看法。来自伦敦北部一个地方当局的39名9至11岁儿童拍摄了照片、绘制了地图并参加了焦点小组。我们发现这种方法让儿童参与其中，并且每种方法都提供了有用的补充信息。结果突出了一些地方政策制定者和从业者在开展预防儿童肥胖工作时应考虑的领域。我们得出结论，这些获取儿童观点的方法应进一步开发和测试。
