Preferred term

child obesity programs  

Definition

  • With the increasing prevalence of pediatric obesity over the past several decades and the mandate to physicians to manage this important health issue, clinical obesity programs have been developed that coordinate the services of physicians and other specialists from the relevant disciplines to manage and distribute care to young, overweight patients. This model of multidisciplinary care is based on the chronic care model and recognizes not only the need for overweight children to receive care for pediatric obesity over a prolonged period of time, but also the requirement for health and community agencies involved in the care of overweight children to communicate effectively with the patient, his or her family, and each other.
