摘要
This study focuses on challenges which could be encountered during different phases of research regarding the lifestyle of children. A narrative review was formed based on data from literature as well as on the experience of the authors in research activities in the field of healthy lifestyle promotion among different groups of Romanian children. The study presents several challenges which must be taken in consideration when planning research in the field of lifestyle and health promotion among children, starting with recruitment of participants, procedure for data collection and continuing with the choose of the instruments used for data gathering. The lifestyle components which are addressed refer to smoking, nutrition related behaviour and physical activity of school children aged 6 to 15. Several examples of challenges encountered by some Romanian research studies and the way that they were addressed will be also presented. Research in the field of lifestyle of children could be a challenging, time and energy consuming process, but definitely also a rewarding one, since the results are important pillars for designing appropriate health promotion interventions.
