Description
Over one in four Australian children are overweight or obese. Policies, strategies and plans to address childhood obesity typically focus on primary prevention, however for these children support is needed now. The recent WHO Commission to End Childhood Obesity has recognised this need by identifying the universal provision of family based lifestyle weight management services to children and young people who are overweight or obese as one of its six recommendations for action. Currently two state health department funded trials of universally provided weight management services are taking place. Their findings contribute to our understanding of the individual, program, service and system factors which facilitate and inhibit support for families of children who are overweight or obese. Focusing on the WHO Commission to End Childhood Obesity, this symposium will describe the policy and practice imperatives to provide services to children who are already overweight and obese, present the findings of PEACH and Go4Fun large scale trials, and finish with a panel discussion with representatives across the continuum of child health care service delivery to discuss where this health issue is positioned and why clarity regarding this is critical to advancing this field, using Queensland as a case study.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
