Virtual Pop...
For my virtual population project I decided to target middle/high school aged kids. (I'm not sure if I need a specific city or area with that... Kami, hopefully you can help me?!) The reason I decided on this is because at work I've seen so many kids around this age whose teeth need a lot of restorative work and I wonder what the reason is for that. I think a big contributor of poor oral health in kids this age is their diet. In middle school and high school kids are given more options for lunch; instead of a 2 choice meal plan you can get icecream, soda, candybars, and doughnuts along with or INSTEAD OF the "other" meals. I believe kids choose treats over a healthy lunch most of the time...I was in high school once and I know what I ate! I'm interested to research more on this subject. So, this is my population!
