Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Endocrinology
  • Child Health and Nutrition
  • Behavioral Pediatrics

Background:

  • Childhood obesity is a significant public health concern requiring effective clinical management strategies.
  • Parental perspectives are crucial in shaping the acceptance and adherence to weight management interventions.
  • Understanding parental preferences can optimize healthcare provider approaches to pediatric weight management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate parental preferences and rankings of key clinical practices for pediatric weight management.
  • To determine if parental disagreement with their child's overweight status influences these preferences.
  • To identify potential areas for improving parent-provider communication and intervention effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed-methods analysis of a survey administered to parents of overweight children aged 2-18 years.
  • Assessment of parental agreement with their child's overweight status and ranking of recommended clinical practices.
  • Qualitative analysis of open-response data and multivariable analyses to identify themes and differences in preferences.

Main Results:

  • A significant proportion of children were overweight, obese, or severely obese, with 16% of parents disagreeing with their child's overweight assessment.
  • Top-ranked clinical practices included "check for weight-related problems," "review growth chart," and "recommend general dietary changes."
  • Parents disagreeing with their child's weight status prioritized "reducing screen time" and "general activity changes" and desired changes in assessment methods.

Conclusions:

  • Parents favor weight management approaches focusing on problem evaluation, growth monitoring, and consistent follow-up.
  • Addressing parental perceptions of weight assessment is essential when managing childhood overweight.
  • Aligning clinical practices with parental preferences may enhance the effectiveness of child weight management programs.
