Cost-effectiveness of a primary care-based Healthy Weight Clinic compared with usual care.

Objective: The objective of this study was to project the cost-effectiveness of implementing the Healthy Weight Clinic (HWC), a primary care-based intervention for 6- to 12-year-old children with overweight or obesity, at federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) nationally.

Methods: We estimated intervention costs from a health care sector and societal perspective and used BMI change estimates from the HWC trial. Our microsimulation of national HWC implementation among all FQHCs from 2023 to 2032 estimated cost per child and per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained and projected impact on obesity prevalence by race and ethnicity.

Keys to Achieving Clinically Important Weight Loss: Perceptions of Responders and Nonresponders in the Clinic and Community Approaches to Healthy Weight Trial.

Despite modest mean body mass index (BMI) improvements in pediatric weight management interventions (PWMIs), some children are more and less successful in achieving a healthier weight. We sought to understand key behavior modifications and strategies used to overcome barriers that led to success or nonresponse. Using a semistructured guide, we conducted interviews in English and Spanish to explore the perspectives of caregivers whose children responded (BMI z-score change of greater than or equal to -0.

Multi-sector stakeholder's perceptions of determinants of successful implementation of a pediatric weight management intervention.

Background: Multi-sector stakeholder engagement is essential in the successful implementation, dissemination, and sustainability of pediatric weight management interventions (PWMI), particularly in low-income settings where sustainability relies on external policies and reimbursement. The objective of this study was to engage stakeholders (1) to inform the creation of the intervention with adaptations needed for a successful PWMI in a primary care and community setting and (2) to identify barriers and facilitators to implementation and dissemination.

Methods: We sought to examine the perspectives of local, state, and national clinic and community stakeholders during the pre-implementation period of a two-arm, randomized trial of a Health Weight Clinic PWMI conducted in two health centers and a modified-Healthy Weight and Your Child PWMI at two local YMCAs that serve a predominantly lower income, Hispanic community.

Maternity research priorities in country Western Australia: a Delphi study.

Objective Health research priorities are commonly identified and resourced by strategic leaders. The importance of recognising the expertise of clinician-researchers is being prioritised by a national funding shift towards applied research. There is a dearth of evidence regarding research priorities for maternity care in rural and remote health in Australia.

Association of Lifestyle Factors and Neuropsychological Development of 4-Year-Old Children.

Background: We aimed to assess how lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep, screen viewing, and physical activity, individually, as well as in a combined score, were associated with neuropsychological development in pre-school age children.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 1650 children of 4 years of age, from the Environment and Childhood Project (INMA) population-based birth cohorts in four regions of Spain. Children were classified per a childhood healthy lifestyle score (CHLS) with a range of 0 to 4 that included eating in concordance with the Mediterranean diet (1 point); reaching recommended sleep time (1 point); watching a maximum recommended screen time (1 point); and being physically active (1 point).

Unmet Social Needs and Adherence to Pediatric Weight Management Interventions: Massachusetts, 2017-2019.

To examine effects of unmet social needs on adherence to pediatric weight management intervention (PWMI). We examined individual associations of positive screens for parental stress, parental depression, food insecurity, and housing insecurity with intervention adherence, and associations of 0, 1 or 2, and 3 or 4 unmet social needs with adherence, among children enrolled in a 2017-2019 comparative effectiveness trial for 2 high-intensity PWMIs in Massachusetts. Models were adjusted for child age, body mass index (BMI), parent BMI, and intervention arm.

Rationale and design of the Clinic and Community Approaches to Healthy Weight Randomized Trial.

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of family-centered, pediatric weight management programs in reducing childhood obesity. Yet, programs to optimize the care of low-income children with obesity are needed. We sought to examine the comparative effectiveness of two, potentially scalable pediatric weight management programs delivered to low-income children in a clinical or community setting.

Association between breastfeeding duration and cognitive development, autistic traits and ADHD symptoms: a multicenter study in Spain.

Background: Several studies have related longer breastfeeding duration to better intellectual performance in children. By contrast, few studies have investigated the potential protective effects of breastfeeding against behavioral problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, and even fewer on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) traits.

Methods: We examined the association between breastfeeding duration and cognitive development, attention, ADHD symptoms, and autistic traits using data from the INMA Project, a Spanish multicenter birth-cohort study, and taking into account the intensity of breastfeeding.

Television viewing duration during childhood and long- association with adolescent neuropsychological outcomes.

This study is aiming to evaluate the association between television viewing during childhood and long-term adolescent neuropsychological outcomes and the potential explanatory pathways. This is a longitudinal study based on 278 children participating in the INMA birth cohort (1998) in Menorca Island, Spain. The exposure is parent-reported duration of child television viewing (hours per week) at 6 and 9 years of age.
