1.00 NAPNAP Contact Hour. This course is an archived session from NAPNAP's Pediatric Virtual Symposium: 2024 Targeted Topics. The 2023 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) CPG for the Evaluation and Treatment of Obesity in Children and Adolescents recommends that children 2-18 years with overweight/obesity be comprehensively evaluated for comorbidities and offered multicomponent, family-based, Intensive Health Behavior and Lifestyle Treatment (IHBLT). This session will focus on the core components of IHBLT and the associated health outcomes. Additionally, participants will learn how to locate recognized Family Healthy Weight Programs and steps to take if there are no local programs. Led by a member of the AAP clinical practice guideline writing team and a member of the NAPNAP Childhood Obesity SIG, this session will help primary care providers assess and build their capacity around IHBLT.
