Children Draw Health: Children's advisory group week 1

Each Wednesday in September our Children Draw Health Advisory Group are considering the 100+ drawings from 17 countries we have received in our research. They are thinking about what the children of the world have shared. They analysed a sample of drawings to determine themes (food, doctors, hospitals, rainbows, friends, workout and sports), added their own ideas and came up with the following themes and answers to these questions:

  1. What makes you healthy? Doctors, food, hospitals, Workout and sports
  2. Who helps you be healthy? Mom, Dad, friends, doctors, hospital, therapist
  3. Where do you go to get healthy? Hospital, doctor
  4. What would your ideal healthcare setting look like? Rainbows, friends, nature

Stay tuned for next weeks' analysis...


A fun way to work out which themes answered which questions

At the beginning we considered each of the drawings and the artists' explanations
