My Academic Potentials and Economic Sustainability - Essay Example

I am currently in the second semester of my Ph.D. Program in Secondary Education that my university has sponsored. My main research interest is nutrition with a focus on behavioral and social determinants of food choices, diet quality and health, human nutrition, and relationships between autism and diet. This identifies diversified topics for my dissertation and my focus in the dissertation will be household poverty and well-being with a focus on the factors’ covariance and their individual and interaction effects on education.

The dissertation may also consider demographic factors and their effects on households’ economic and social status as well as effects on academic achievements. My interest in the dissertation further extends to health conditions among poor population segments, especially obesity and diabetes. Within this scope, I may focus on the relationship between poverty levels and incidence rates of obesity as well as the relationship between incidences of obesity and diabetes and food security among the population segment. 

Other population segments for consideration in my research are parents of adolescents, the elderly, and adults with disabilities. I have not developed a work schedule for my Qualitative II project but shall likely precede my project on Nutrition Advertisements Influence the Perception of Adolescent Girls on their Eating Habits and Nutritional Status.
