How different treatments are delivered has important effects on the outcomes of pediatric obesity treatment interventions. How do these different formats compare?

 We have carried out evidence analysis on the following treatment format topics:

• Family Counseling
  • Treatment of child without family versus child with family
  • Child alone
  • Child with family
    • Treating child and family together
    • Treating child and family separate
    • Treating child and family in a "mixed" format (sometimes together, sometimes separate)
  • Interventions with parents only
• Prescribed Diet Plan and Nutrition Education
• Treatment of pediatric obesity in a group versus individual counseling
• Treatment of pediatric obesity using peer modeling
