Obesity and television watching appear to be positively correlated, even at a statewide level.
On this scatterplot, you can look for possible relationships between students' Physical Activity & Obesity and Dietary Behaviors. For example, the scatterplot currently shows the percent of obese students on the vertical axis and the percent of students reporting they watched 3 or more hours of TV on a school day on the horizontal axis. The circles are colored by the percent of students who smoked cigarettes in the past month. Again, Rhode Island is the light green circle with a white border.
Here you can also select any of the indicators previously discussed in the datastory to look for possible relationships among factors students report. Click on the indicator names in attribute selector drop-downs on the right to revisit indicators about alcohol, drug use, sexual activity, unintentional injuries, or violence.
