Rethink Obesity

ACTION teens is a global, cross-sectional survey aimed at identifying perceptions, attitudes, behaviours, and barriers to effective obesity care among adolescents living with obesity, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Misalignment between ALwO, caregivers, and HCPs — including caregivers’ underestimation of the impact of obesity on ALwO and HCPs’ misperception of key motivators/barriers for weight loss — suggests a need for improved communication and education.4
