What I learned

I chose to highlight this assignment because it includes creativity for policies and regulations surrounding public health interventions. Within the United States, obesity is a rising public health concerns and there is linkages between obesity and sugar-sweetened beverages consumed by adolescents. Our group completed a research paper to support our findings and presented to fellow classmates.
