TI  - Reactions to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines for the 
      management of adolescent obesity: A multi-informant qualitative approach.

AB  - The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has set forth recommendations 
      for clinicians to screen youth (6-18 years) for obesity. Those identified should 
      be referred to comprehensive weight management programs consisting of at least 26 
      contact hours and focus on multiple targets of behaviour (ie, diet, physical 
      activity, behaviour change). However, these recommendations are primarily based 
      upon outcomes from randomized controlled trials and the feasibility of meeting 
      these guidelines for adolescents in a clinical setting is unknown. The present 
      study employed a multi-informant qualitative approach with adolescents, parents, 
      and physicians, to identify and understand multiple perspectives on the 
      feasibility and acceptability of implementing the USPSTF guidelines. In-depth 
      interviews with seven adolescents, seven parents, and four physicians were 
      analysed. Generally, participants viewed the guidelines positively but identified 
      changes that may be necessary to increase the feasibility of adolescents engaging 
      in programs that meet these guidelines. Participants also noted the importance of 
      flexibility within programs, indicating that it would be difficult for many 
      adolescents to participate in a program that was not tailored to their needs and 
      resources. Future research should focus on adapting clinical weight management 
      programs to meet both USPSTF guidelines and the needs of adolescents and their 
      families.
