Conference background:
Through research done by Centro SOL, it is known that Latino children have among the highest rates of early childhood obesity of any racial or ethnic group in the U.S. To address the gap between the recommended treatment for childhood obesity and patient/family-centered intensive childhood weight management, Centro SOL established a network based on a Patient Centered Outcome Research method (PCOR). The network has analyzed barriers, assets, components and actors needed for effective/community-centered weight management interventions.
