Formative research was based on the ecologi - cal model and the principles of social marketing. A mixed method approach was used. Qualitative (direct observation, indepth interviews, focus group discussions and photo-voice) and quantitative (closed ended surveys, checklists, anthro - pometry) methods were employed. Results. Formative research key findings, including barriers by levels of the ecological model, were used for designing a program includ - ing environmental strategies to discourage the consumption of energy dense foods and sugar beverages. Conclusion. Formative research was fundamental to developing a context specific obesity prevention program in schools that seeks environment modification and behavior change.
