BMI is a calculation that divides people into one of four categories: People who are underweight, with a score of less than 18.5; normal weight, with a score between 18.5 and 24.9; overweight, with a score of 25 to 25.9; and obese, with a score of 30 or greater.
Civic engagement or civic participation, according to the American Psychological Association, is individual and collective actions designed to identify and address issues of public concern.
The IAP2 Public Participation Spectrum has been used here to highlight an additional possible level of engagement, âcollaborationâ. Missing from this model however, but explicit in The Wheel of Engagement, is the âsocial capacityâ component of engagement - the ability of stakeholders/community to act.
