I will outline my question below and a couple of aspects I will consider while I am in Vietnam:
How do health related behaviors, specifically nutrition, affect academic performance of Vietnamese children?
- To determine the extent of nutrition on academic performance of a wide range of age groups on Vietnam
- Determine if nutrition a major factor in the academic success of children in Vietnam
- Understand both short-term and long-term effects
- Determine the food options readily available and their nutritional value
- Relate findings to how society deals with the challenge of providing a balanced meal for all their students
- Determine average caloric intake with an average diet
- Relate findings to what Americans consider to be a “healthy” diet
As a student aspiring to become a pharmacist in the future, I hope to broaden my mindset by diverging my scope to understand health-related behaviors in children and the effects on overall academic performance. I hope to understand both psychological cognition on developmental learning and adverse health effects on the youth with various conditions and exposures to external factors. I seek to understand if there are particular requirements for an environment that help students intellectually thrive in contrast to another. My hope for this project is to immerse myself in a different culture and broaden my awareness and mindset on issues that students in America may not always understand or experience themselves.
