Quick read Clinical Insights piece for pediatricians on treating overweight and obesity among adolescents that we published in @JAMA_current: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2752560
More comprehensive review on treatment options for adolescents with overweight and obesity that we published in @JAMAPediatrics: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2762866
A great review on treatment of adolescent obesity from Katharine Steinbeck, @Nat_Lister @megangow3 and Louise Baur published in Nature Reviews Endocrinology: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29654249/
Here is a resource for the teens for Ocean's Lifestyle, whose goal is: "Empowering young people on their weight management journey through themselves, their community, and society" and is led by adolescent obesity advocate @faithhh_anne http://www.oceanslifestyles.com/about/
If looking for non-stigmatizing photos of adolescents with obesity, consider using @ObesityAction photo gallery (free!) whose purpose is to "help refocus the perception of obesity, and change the perception of individuals affected by this chronic disease." https://www.obesityaction.org/get-educated/public-resources/oac-image-gallery/
What other resources are helpful for healthcare providers or scientists who are studying and/or treating obesity among adolescents? Please share here so we can all learn more!
