Who: College Students (they fall into that trap of unhealthy
environments however other than the freshman 15 individuals do not normally
gain too much weight or become too unhealthy.)
What: is nutrition and health the same
Why: for some students we still all want to be healthy we
just get the temptations of being on our own. The unmet need is the same in
this situation it just is a lot easier with all the walking around campus to
have the unhealthy environments around you and still be able to stay healthy.
Who: College Towns (they fall outside of the boundary
because they choose to be there and accept that there are those unhealthy
options)
What: is nutrition and health the same
Why: due to their location of being in a college town they
are usually surrounded around the unhealthy choices and quick options which is
what they preach in college the quick option. However, with college town residents
they usually have the desirable support for the college and unhealthy or not they
do not care for the unhealthy environments they just want to be close enough to
support them
Who: Athletes (even though they should fall into the
category because their main purpose is to stay healthy they do not get trapped
in this because they have better discipline and opportunities with the school to
have healthier options than regular students.)
What: is nutrition and health the same
Why: for these outsiders there unmet need is the same they
just have better resources to obtain some of these needs.
Who: Those socially aware of the issue (some people are
aware of the unmet need and their choice of unhealthy and healthy is limited so
in order to do something about it they solve the problem so about their way to
find the healthy options and avoid the healthy vs unhealthy spectrum.)
What: is nutrition and health the same
Why: the underlying cause is similar/same however these individuals
are aware of their unmet need and decided to go about it to change things for
themselves and their options.
Who: Individuals who do not mind (the other form of
outsiders are the ones that know their problem know their issue but either don’t
have the same effects as everyone else or they just do not mind and are happy
how their life is treating them not everyone wants to be healthy)
What: is nutrition and
health the same
Why: their underlying
need where as they may have one does not correlate to what my research and
hypothesis is they similar do not care.

Who is in
Those looking to be healthy who are in low income areas,

What the need is
The need is to understand and give further support to
eliminate the unhealthy vs healthy distribution to support the movement
towards health.
|
What the need is not
The need is not trying to find better options of nutrition
and health and lower prices but improving the distribution or knowledge to
change people’s views the healthy can be met.

|
Why the need exists
The need exist because a healthier life leads to healthier
options and opportunities

Alternative explanation
The need could exist because people are believed to know
that a healthier life incompasses those things such as nutrition and
exercise.

Hello Brandee,
ReplyDeleteYour interviews really captured the different perspective that people have on living and eating healthy. I think your solution of re-directing the health supply could easily work, however, there are going to be people that are inside your boundary but simply won't have the need. Some people are comfortable the way they are living currently, and some simply won't be able to transition into a healthier lifestyle. So focusing on the groups that you will impact the most and you'll have a great service.
