This data base was projected to help in setting goals for the future health of the family. This paper will discuss the healthy and unhealthy behaviors of the Kessay Family, which are all registered members of the White Mountain Apache Tribe in Whiteriver, Arizona. This family assessment will also discuss what was talked about in trying to develop goals for the improved health for the family. The Kessay family is a traditional Apache family, which includes the mother, dad, and 2 children. The mom is 40 years old, the dad is 45 years old, , and the girls are 14 and 16 years old. The assessment was conducted by asking up to 3 open-ended questions, based on the 11 Functional Health Patterns. Cultural taboos were observed in asking these questions. Some were answered, some were not. Some were answered by very short answers, indicating embarrassment or unwillingness to answer such a rude question. (according to Apache traditions).

...The PRECEDE-PROCEED model is a medical model that moves away from the typical issue of disease treatment and focuses on health promotion. Developed by Lawrence W. Green, this model has been applied in many Western countries in the improvement of health. PRECEDE (Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Constructs in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation) is the part of the model that helps in the development of various public health initiatives and programs. PROCEED (Policy, Regulatory, and Organizational Constructs in Educational and Environmental Development), on the other hand, serves as a guide to the effective implementation of the various programs that are created using PRECEDE. With regards to using the PRECEDE-PROCEED model in designing an educational program aimed at promoting health for families with school-aged children, the nine phases of the model will be used to produce outstanding results. The first phase is the social assessment phase, where the current social habits and practices of families with school-aged children is evaluated. This assessment helps determine what the existing health practices are, the current quality of life, and the health needs of these families. The second phase involves the epidemiological assessment. According to Webster’s Dictionary, epidemiology is “that branch of medicine which studies the incidence and distribution of disease in a population, and uses such information to find the causes, modes of transmission, and methods for control...

School Age children are spending more time in front of TV, computers or gaming devices than ever before. Combinations of poor diet and lack of activity is a major factor in childhood obesity. Childhood obesity will be presented as a topic and we will assess the need for this issue in the community. By discussing this topic it will help in the reduction of childhood obesity...

To do this they need to be the leading source of research and discovery, educate the next generation of leaders in child health, and enhance the health and well-being of children and families in our local community (Appendix B).

Researchers suspect the unmanaged status of the children’s chronic illnesses is strongly related to this concern. The hospital and schools are very interested in addressing this concern (Appendix B). Biobehavioral studies of the children in the context of family and family-community dynamics are encouraged. The FOA is for ages 8-21, they are put into groups of developmental stages and cognitive disabilities (Appendix B).
