Tips for a Successful Hydration Research Project
National Drinking Water Alliance
Motivated by their success in promoting and advocating for healthy hydration at John Swett High School, teens developed tip sheets for implementing similiar youth-led participatory action research (YPAR) projects.
The tip sheets provide framework for starting YPAR projects and guidance on the following topics:
getting started
training for success
YPAR methods
YPAR implementation
peer education
advocacy
The teens worked with University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Contra Costa 4-H and nutrition units to develop the tip sheets. Special thanks to Marisa Neelon, MS, RD, Nutrition, Family, & Consumer Sciences Advisor and Charles G. Go, PhD, 4-H Youth Development Advisor for writing this post.
