- Childhood obesity can be better addressed through family-based pediatric weight management programs, but U.S. enrollment in these programs is quite low.
- This study surveyed 158 parents of children aged 5 to 11, exploring factors influencing their intention to enroll in such programs, finding that perceived program effectiveness significantly impacted their likelihood of participation.
- Key barriers to enrollment included time constraints, concerns about children's enjoyment, and lack of family support, indicating a need for strategies that enhance perceived program effectiveness to boost participation rates.
