Clinical Research Facilitators, Barriers, and Preferences of Parents of Children With Overweight...
Researchers surveyed more than 100 parents of children with overweight or obesity to understand what influences their decision to participate in research
Parents reported more reasons to participate in childhood obesity research than reasons not to participate
Mistrust, time demands, and social pressure are barriers that make it harder for parents to participate in childhood obesity research
Research perceptions varied by family characteristics
To improve childhood obesity research, studies need to be easier to join, reduce participation burden, and build trust with families from the beginning
Identifying & Managing Eating Disorders in Pediatric Obesity Treatment: Current Practices in Weight
A national survey examined pediatric weight management programs across the US regarding eating disorder screening practices

Much of the screening is informal, using homegrown questionnaires or clinical judgment rather than validated tools
Providers are generally comfortable with screening for eating disorders
Medical providers lag behind behavioral health specialists by a wide margin when diagnosing conditions like binge eating disorder
Clinicians report not being trained enough as a barrier to eating disorder management
Clinicians report not knowing how to manage eating disorders they identify as a barrier
Clinicians report lacking clear treatment pathways for eating disorders as a barrier
Medical providers may need more training for diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders in pediatric obesity settings

Rapid Fire and Conclusion: Pediatric Obesity 2017
BMIs in the 40s will predictably achieve post-surgical BMIs less than 30
Earlier intervention in bariatric surgery improves quality of life for patients
Operating at lower degrees of obesity allows moving patients into a much healthier state
Patients above BMI 55 have only about 14% probability of achieving BMI below 30 after surgery (data published by Tom in 2009)
Once BMI crosses 50 threshold, probability of mitigating risks associated with BMI 35+ becomes challenging
