Overweight and Obesity in Children and Adolescents

The MCH Library at Georgetown University presents a new knowledge path, Overweight and Obesity in Children and Adolescents. The knowledge path directs readers to a selection of current, high-quality resources about the prevention, identification, management, and treatment of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents in homes, schools, and communities. Health professionals, program administrators, policymakers, and researchers can use the knowledge path to learn more about overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, improve care, develop programs, and locate training resources and information to answer specific questions.
