Recommendations From Parents to Improve Health Services for Managing Pediatric Obesity in Canada.

Objective: Although parents are uniquely positioned to offer first-hand insights that can be used to improve health services for managing pediatric obesity, their perspective is underexplored. Our objective was to characterize parents' recommendations for enhancing tertiary-level health services for managing pediatric obesity in Canada.

Methods: Semistructured, one-on-one interviews were conducted with parents of children who initiated treatment at 1 of 4 Canadian tertiary-level, multidisciplinary weight management clinics.

Tools and resources for preventing childhood obesity in primary care: A method of evaluation and preliminary assessment.

Objectives: To pilot-test a mixed methods approach to evaluate tools and resources (TRs) that healthcare providers (HCPs) use for preventing childhood obesity in primary care, and report a preliminary descriptive assessment of commonly-used TRs.

Methods: This mixed methods study included individual, semi-structured interviews with purposefully-sampled HCPs in Alberta, Canada; interviews were digitally recorded and analyzed thematically (phase I). Two independent reviewers used three assessment checklists to evaluate commonly-used TRs (phase II).
