我们的目的是对加拿大儿科体重管理计划进行全国环境扫描。项目代表使用我们团队与加拿大肥胖网络 (www.obesitynetwork.ca) 合作开发的在线调查输入有关其体重管理项目的历史、结构和功能的数据。在确定的 18 个项目中，所有项目都包括采取以家庭为中心的生活方式/行为治疗方法的多学科团队；主要通过医生转介获得保健服务。大多数项目都是在过去五年中利用公共资金推出的，每年约有 125 名客户参加一对一和/或基于小组的体重管理护理。尽管许多人参与了研究并隶属于学术机构，但大多数人并没有系统地评估他们与肥胖相关的项目。根据这些观察结果，提供了与项目评估、卫生服务提供和网络合作相关的建议，为具有国内和国际相关性的研究和临床护理的未来方向提供信息。
Our purpose was to conduct a national environmental scan of pediatric weight management programs in Canada. Data were entered by program representatives regarding the history, structure, and function of their weight management programs using an online survey that our team developed in partnership with the Canadian Obesity Network (www.obesitynetwork.ca). Of the 18 programs that were identified, all included multidisciplinary teams that take a family-centred, lifestyle/behavioural therapeutic approach; health services were accessed primarily through physician referral. Most programs were launched in the past five years with public funding and enrolled similar to 125 clients/year into one-on-one and/or group-based weight management care. Although many participated in research and were affiliated with academic institutions, most did not systematically evaluate their obesity-related programming. Based on these observations, recommendations related to program evaluation, health services delivery, and network collaborations are provided to inform future directions for research and clinical care that have both domestic and international relevance.
