Abstract
Pediatric overweight challenges us as health care providers to utilize the best strategies we have available to help prevent and treat this nationwide epidemic. Comprehensive behavioral treatment is an effective approach for promoting weight loss and health benefits in children and is a promising approach for adolescents. Pediatricians can play an important role in curbing the rise of overweight through early detection and monitoring, and by using a variety of comprehensive behavioral treatment strategies to help manage overweight in their patients.Entities:
