Introduction
Many children and adolescents with obesity experience weight stigma and bias, which can have detrimental mental health, medical, and social consequences. Weight stigma in the healthcare setting threatens the therapeutic relationship between health care providers and their pediatric patients and families.
Methods
Data supporting this guidance were derived from cited references.
Results
Based upon referenced citations, this review offers 7 best practices for pediatric providers to work to reduce weight stigma including: assess for personal weight bias, improve communication, provide a welcoming clinic environment, seek out additional training and informative experiences, evaluate the messaging and culture of the organization, screen for trauma and bullying, and enlist the help of board-certified obesity medicine specialists.
Conclusions
Providers have an important role in mitigating the harmful effects of weight stigma. It is our hope these recommendations, as well as the other resources provided, will help providers to begin to address their own individual weight biases, as well as the institutional weight biases where we care for patients.

Background
With increasing prevalence of severe obesity in youth, more adolescents are becoming candidates for bariatric surgery. In Canada, bariatric surgery in adolescents is in its infancy, and long-term health outcomes are not well known. It is unknown what health care providers (HCPs) are using to prepare and guide their adolescent patients for bariatric surgery. The needs of HCPs should be explored with the aim to improve patient outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the resource needs of HCPs working with adolescents living with severe obesity who are undergoing bariatric surgery.
Methods
This qualitative study consisted of a focus group with seven HCPs from an adolescent bariatric program using a semi-structured interview guide. The focus group discussion was audio-recorded, and the recording was transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis was conducted.
Results
Four data-generated themes emerged highlighting the perceived needs and challenges faced by HCPs. These included (1) gaps in patient education materials on the subject of the bariatric surgery process, obesity as a chronic disease and mental health, (2) the need for designing resources that are teen-friendly, adaptable, and accessible, (3) the need for resources to facilitate decision-making and patient evaluation delivering more streamlined care and; (4) challenges to addressing resource needs due to limited clinical time and budgets.
Conclusion
This needs assessment study highlights the need for appropriate resources for patient education, as well as pre and post-operative preparation. The hope is that HCPs can improve quality of care delivered and positively impact surgical outcomes in their patients.

Background
Certification of obesity medicine for physicians in the United States occurs mainly via the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM). Obesity medicine is not recognized as a subspecialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) or the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). This review examines the value of specialization, status of current ABOM Diplomates, governing bodies involved in ABMS/AOA Board Certification, and the advantages and disadvantages of an ABMS/AOA recognized obesity medicine subspecialty.
Methods
Data for this review were derived from PubMed and appliable websites. Content was driven by the expertise, insights, and perspectives of the authors.
Results
The existing ABOM obesity medicine certification process has resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of Obesity Medicine Diplomates. If ABMS/AOA were to recognize obesity medicine as a subspecialty under an existing ABMS Member Board, then Obesity Medicine would achieve a status like other ABMS recognized subspecialities. However, the transition of ABOM Diplomates to ABMS recognized subspecialists may affect the kinds and the number of physicians having an acknowledged focus on obesity medicine care. Among transition issues to consider include: (1) How many ABMS Member Boards would oversee Obesity Medicine as a subspecialty and which physicians would be eligible? (2) Would current ABOM Diplomates be required to complete an Obesity Medicine Fellowship? If not, then what would be the process for a current ABOM Diplomate to transition to an ABMS-recognized Obesity Medicine subspecialist (i.e., “grandfathering criteria”)? and (3) According to the ABMS, do enough Obesity Medicine Fellowship programs exist to recognize Obesity Medicine as a subspecialty?
Conclusions
Decisions regarding a transition to an ABMS recognized Obesity Medicine Subspecialty versus retention of the current ABOM Diplomate Certification should consider which best facilitates medical access and care to patients with obesity, and which best helps obesity medicine clinicians be recognized for their expertise.

Background
This Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) Clinical Practice Statement (CPS) provides clinicians an overview of Artificial Intelligence, focused on the management of patients with obesity.
Methods
The perspectives of the authors were augmented by scientific support from published citations and integrated with information derived from search engines (i.e., Chrome by Google, Inc) and chatbots (i.e., Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer or Chat GPT).
Results
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the technologic acquisition of knowledge and skill by a nonhuman device, that after being initially programmed, has varying degrees of operations autonomous from direct human control, and that performs adaptive output tasks based upon data input learnings. AI has applications regarding medical research, medical practice, and applications relevant to the management of patients with obesity. Chatbots may be useful to obesity medicine clinicians as a source of clinical/scientific information, helpful in writings and publications, as well as beneficial in drafting office or institutional Policies and Procedures and Standard Operating Procedures. AI may facilitate interactive programming related to analyses of body composition imaging, behavior coaching, personal nutritional intervention & physical activity recommendations, predictive modeling to identify patients at risk for obesity-related complications, and aid clinicians in precision medicine. AI can enhance educational programming, such as personalized learning, virtual reality, and intelligent tutoring systems. AI may help augment in-person office operations and telemedicine (e.g., scheduling and remote monitoring of patients). Finally, AI may help identify patterns in datasets related to a medical practice or institution that may be used to assess population health and value-based care delivery (i.e., analytics related to electronic health records).
Conclusions
AI is contributing to both an evolution and revolution in medical care, including the management of patients with obesity. Challenges of Artificial Intelligence include ethical and legal concerns (e.g., privacy and security), accuracy and reliability, and the potential perpetuation of pervasive systemic biases.

Background
Traumatic events that occur in infancy, childhood, and adolescence can be impactful over the course of a lifespan. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with chronic health problems and mental illness, and can negatively impact educational and job opportunities. There is a growing body of evidence about the relationship between ACEs and the risk of childhood obesity. Trauma informed care (TIC) is an approach to patient care both at the clinical and organizational level that is responsive to the impact past trauma can have on an individual.
Methods
This clinical review will focus on the impact of toxic stress from trauma on the child through threats to normal physiology, including the manifestation of obesity through energy regulation pathophysiology, followed by a discussion of TIC principles. Available resources and how trauma informed principles can be used in practice are discussed using case study methodology.
Results
TIC programs recognize the impact of trauma on both patients and clinicians. TIC implementation includes application of TIC four assumptions and six key principles out-lined by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's guidance. Clinicians supported by well-designed systems recognize that disclosure is not the goal of TIC; instead, broad trauma inquiry, proceeding to risk and safety assessment if indicated, and connection to interventions is the focus. Best practice communication allows clinicians to access information without retraumatizing the patient with ongoing repetition of their trauma experience.
Conclusion
Combining the pillars of obesity treatment (i.e., nutrition, physical activity, behavior therapy, medical management) with the tenets of TIC (realize, recognize, respond, resist re-traumatization) affords patients holistic, intentional care and family support. The desired outcomes of TIC align with goals of obesity treatment in children, namely improvement of health and quality of life, sense of self (e.g., body image and self-esteem), and prevention of negative health outcomes.

Background
Healthy lifestyle behaviors that can prevent adverse health outcomes, including obesity, are formed in early childhood. This study describes feeding, television, and sleep behaviors among one-year-old infants and examines differences by sociodemographic factors.
Methods
Caregivers of one-year-olds presenting for well care at two clinics, control sites for the Greenlight Study, were queried about feeding, television time, and sleep. Adjusted associations between sociodemographic factors and behaviors were performed by modified Poisson (binary), multinomial logistic (multi-category), or linear (continuous) regression models.
Results
Of 235 one-year-olds enrolled, 81% had Medicaid, and 45% were Hispanic, 36% non-Hispanic Black, 19% non-Hispanic White. Common behaviors included 20% exclusive bottle use, 32% put to bed with bottle, mean daily juice intake of 4.1 ± 4.6 ounces, and active television time 45 ± 73 min. In adjusted analyses compared to Hispanic caregivers, non-Hispanic Black caregivers were less likely to report exclusive bottle use (odds ratio: 0.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03–0.39), reported 2.4 ounces more juice (95% CI 1.0–3.9), 124 min more passive television time (95% CI 60–188), and 37 min more active television time (95% CI 10–64). Increased caregiver education and higher income were associated with 0.4 (95% CI 0.13–0.66) and 0.3 (95% CI 0.06–0.55) more servings of fruits and vegetables per day, respectively.
Conclusion
In a diverse sample of one-year-olds, caregivers reported few protective behaviors that reduce the risk for adverse health outcomes including obesity. Differences in behavior by race/ethnicity, income, and education can inform future interventions and policies. Future interventions should strive to create culturally effective messaging to address common adverse health behaviors.
