Comparing existing resources to represent dietary supplements.
Dietary supplements (DS) are widely consumed despite limited knowledge around their safety/efficacy and any well-established regulatory policies. In this pilot study, five DS resources were evaluated and compared both quantitatively and qualitatively. The authors found fragmented and inconsistent distribution of DS representation in terms of essential data elements across five resources.

Rationale and design of the Clinic and Community Approaches to Healthy Weight Randomized Trial.
Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of family-centered, pediatric weight management programs in reducing childhood obesity. Yet, programs to optimize the care of low-income children with obesity are needed. The investigators sought to examine the comparative effectiveness of two, potentially scalable pediatric weight management programs delivered to low-income children in a clinical or community setting.
