Weight Management in Pediatric Primary Care

This observational study aims to bring weight management for children and teenagers into regular doctor's offices, rather than just specialty clinics. It's looking at how well different approaches work, including dietitian visits, education, anti-obesity medications, and referrals for surgery if needed, all based on American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. The study will track changes in your child's weight, height, and Body Mass Index (BMI) over 1 to 3 years. Children and young adults aged 1 month to 21 years who have obesity (BMI over 30 kg/m2 or above the 95th percentile) or need help managing their weight can join. The current recruitment status is unclear.
