Parents' integration in the treatment of adolescents with obesity: A qualitative study.

Introduction: Obesity during adolescence is particularly challenging. Our aims were to identify parents' and adolescents' perceptions regarding obesity, as well as family dynamics before and after family-based behavioral therapy (FBBT) to improve obesity.

Method: Using a qualitative approach, 23 parents and 21 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years participated in 6 focus groups, before and after FBBT.
