Description:
Listening First: Shared Decisions That Build Trust in Pediatric Obesity Care is a CME activity designed to support pediatricians in delivering effective, evidence-based care to children and adolescents with obesity. Despite the growing prevalence and risks of pediatric obesity, many clinicians face barriers such as limited training, low confidence, and discomfort initiating sensitive conversations.

This activity provides practical guidance on guideline-recommended screening, culturally and developmentally appropriate communication strategies, and the development of individualized treatment plans. With a focus on shared decision-making and building trust with families, participants will gain the tools needed to improve patient engagement and outcomes in pediatric obesity care.

Learning Objectives:
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  • Select evidence-based, guideline-recommended screening strategies to diagnose pediatric patients with obesity
  • Apply strategies to discuss weight management with pediatric patients and/or their caregivers in a culturally, linguistically, and developmentally appropriate manner
  • Develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans for pediatric patients with obesity
