How I Spent My SUMR
FED-UP & SOPARC Projects
By Elena BlebeaMentor: Dr. Amy Hillier
August 13, 2009
Urban Nutrition in Philadelphia:
FED-UP
Snacking in Philadelphia
• 70% of Philadelphia 5-7th graders stopped to buy food on the way to or from school (SNAKs study)
• Elementary Feeder Area in 5 Philadelphia Schools (1 square mile)– Food Opportunities= 10-35 – Average= 21
Purchases
• Avg. daily expenditure= $2.00
• Profitable for Stores– $2 Million/Week
Contributing to Obesity?
Calories: 310
Cal from Fat: 120
Sugars: 30g
Calories: 330

Sugars: 39g
Calories: 650
Cal from Fat: 380

Problem• What exactly are children buying?
• Where are they acquiring their food?
• Where are the junk food hotspots? Healthy alternatives?
• Basically, how can we model a local geography of nutrition and determine how neighborhood stores contribute to obesity?

SOPARC
System for Observing Play and Recreation
in Communities
Project OverviewRand Corporation
Thomas L. McKenzie, Ph.D., Deborah A. Cohen, MD, MPH (2006)
Funding: NIH
“SOPARC is a validated direct observation tool for assessing physical activity and associated people and environmental characteristics in park and recreation settings.”
Project OverviewHow do people use parks?What influences the level of physical
activity of park users?Examine:
Physical Activity LevelGenderAgeEthnicityPark Area Characteristics
SignificanceTest the universality of SOPARCFind out which aspects of parks
(facilities, equipment, programming) encourage physical activity
Improve ParksCombat the obesity epidemic
