术语“最佳默认值”指的是给予预先选择的选择，这些选择被设计为产生期望的行为改变。这一概念对政策制定者很有吸引力，因为它引导人们走向理想的行为，同时通过选择退出的能力保留自由选择。它被发现是一个强大的行为决定因素，如养老金计划登记，器官捐赠和绿色能源利用。我们讨论了如何将最佳默认值应用于包括公共政策，机构，私营部门和家庭环境在内的几个领域的儿童肥胖预防。虽然在实施最佳默认值方面存在障碍，但将其纳入预防儿童肥胖的多层次策略是一个有前途的组成部分。
The term “optimal defaults” refers to imparting pre-selected choices which are designed to produce a desired behavior change. The concept is attractive to policymakers because it steers people toward desirable behaviors while preserving free choice through the ability to opt out. It has been found to be a powerful behavioral determinant in areas such as pension plan enrollment, organ donation, and green energy utilization. We discuss how optimal defaults can be applied to pediatric obesity prevention in several domains including public policy, institutional, private sector, and home environment. Although there are obstacles to overcome in implementing optimal defaults, it is a promising component to incorporate in a multi-level strategy for preventing pediatric obesity.
