One of the most serious public health problems in our country is childhood obesity. This problem is global and is steadily affecting many low- and middle-income families. That question that I am looking into is does achieving high levels of physical activity, low levels of sedentary behavior, and getting sufficient sleep to correlate with better mental health among children and adolescents
P= Adolescents
I= Increased physical activity and adequate sleep hours and decreased screen time
C= Sedentary lifestyle behaviors
O= To see a reduction in depressive symptoms and improve overall mental health
T= 3 months following a diagnosis of depression
S= Primary care clinic or mental health outpatient clinic
