摘要：This article discusses the concept for the development of the Health Educational Module (HEM) on Childhood Obesity Management (COM) for primary school children aged 7 to 12 years old concerning the prevalence of overweight and obese children below 18 years old in Malaysia that continues to increase. The methodology consists of an experimental design with pre and post-test questionnaires followed by Fuzzy Delphi Method for primary school children and parents. Therefore, the development of this module hopes to be able to prevent obesity among children. The purpose for the development of HEM is to enhance knowledge, practice behaviour, attitude and self-efficacy among primary school children aged 7 to 12 years old. The CHANGE design will be applied for this module that contains the health education on nutrition, activities and guide exercises for the overweight and obese school children. Development of HEM is based on the Generalized Model for Program Planning (GMPP). The primary outcome of HEM will be evaluated through the knowledge, practice and attitude on nutrition and physical activity, level of physical activity, sedentary lifestyle and Body Mass Index (BMI) of the overweight and obese school children. The findings from the development of HEM will provide new findings on the future health education and promotion in primary schools in Malaysia to facilitate the effective management of childhood obesity towards prevention of obesity.
