Reactions to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines for the management of adolescent obesity: a multi-informant qualitative approach.
This study measured reactions by adolescents, parents, and physicians to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines for the management of adolescent obesity. The guidelines recommended those identified should be referred to comprehensive weight management programs consisting of at least 26 contact hours and focus on multiple targets of behavior. In-depth interviews were conducted with 7 adolescents, 7 parents, and 4 physicians. In general, participants viewed the guidelines positively but identified changes that may be necessary to increase the feasibility of adolescents engaging in programs that meet these guidelines. Participants also noted the importance of flexibility within programs.
