About The Study: Family-based treatment for childhood overweight and obesity was successfully implemented in pediatric primary care settings and led to improved weight outcomes over 24 months for children and parents. Siblings who were not directly treated also had improved weight outcomes, suggesting that this treatment may offer a novel approach for families with multiple children.
Authors: Leonard H. Epstein, Ph.D., of the University at Buffalo in Buffalo, New York, is the corresponding author.
