The association between parent-reported provider communication quality and child obesity status: variation by parent obesity and child race/ethnicity.
This study examined the association between healthcare provider communication quality and child obesity status, and the role of parent obesity and child race/ethnicity regarding this association. It found that parents of obese children experienced better communication if parents were non-obese or children were non-Hispanic Black or Asian.

Teen, parent, and clinician expectations about obesity and related conditions during the annual well-child visit.
This study examined family (patient and parent/guardian) and clinician preferences for identification and management of obesity and obesity-related conditions during the well-child visit. Teens and parents expect weight to be discussed at well-child visits, and prefer discussions to come from a trusted clinician who uses serious, consistent language. Providers recognize several challenges and barriers to discussing weight management in the well-child visit.
