The study was conducted well with well-designed research problems, study aims and hypotheses, and a review of relevant literature. These elements of a research article allow researchers to clearly state the need and importance of their study. The elements also help define the uniqueness of the study. The article addresses the issue of childhood obesity, which is a significant problem in healthcare. The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing in various parts of the globe, especially in the United States. Childhood obesity is associated with multiple chronic health conditions, including premature death during adulthood. The problem of childhood health is promoted by the modern environment, which encourages excessive consumption of foods rich in calories and fats, while discouraging physical exercise. This implies that the family unit plays a significant role in promoting or discouraging childhood obesity (Eagle et al., 2012, p. 836). According to the article, the issue is important for healthcare administrators, as it improves their knowledge of the causes of childhood obesity and preventative measures that can be used to avoid it. The aim of the study is to investigate family-related factors that influence childhood obesity. Several recent studies have identified factors such as lack of exercise, long hours spent watching television and poor eating habits as major causes of childhood obesity. However, none of the studies investigated the impact of family income on childhood obesity. For this reason, the main purpose of the article was to investigate how family income may contribute to childhood obesity (Eagle et al., 2012, p. 836). Aside from the purpose of the study, the others...... half of the article ......of eating disorders, overweight and obesity; the three issues are even more serious when children are involved. Most of these issues have been discussed and necessary interventions suggested by several studies. This article reviews one such study, which is “Understanding Childhood Obesity in America: Links Between Family Income, Community Resources, and Child Behaviors” by Eagle et al. (2012). The article is reviewed based on the topic and purpose of the study, research question, hypothesis, variables, theoretical framework, literature review, and research design. Works Cited Eagle, T.
