Through their voices : experiences of overweight and obese adolescent boys / Zachary J. Morrison

The purpose of this study was to explore the lives of overweight/obese adolescent
boys. A qualitative case study focused on depth of understanding. Four boys
volunteered to participate in the study. Findings further our understanding of the
adolescent boys’ lifescapes; viable and non-viable recruitment strategies among this
population; ethical obligations of ending research after establishing trust and rapport; and
“Avoidance” as an Idiom of Distress among this sample of boys. Suggestions for future
research are addressed in the study. / vi, 102 leaves ; 29 cm
