Childhood obesity rates are on the rise worldwide. Considering the significant health and economic costs associated with obesity, emphasis must be placed on addressing this public health dilemma from both preventive and treatment perspectives. Evidence-based parent-centered interventions are an effective way to target obesity in children. Parents play a central role in a child’s lifestyle habits. However, parental recruitment and engagement remains problematic. This challenge must be addressed from a population health framework if improvements in childhood obesity rates are to be achieved. This chapter provides a framework for the prevention and management of childhood obesity from a public health perspective. The need for a population approach to evidence-based parenting programs is advocated to shift population-level rates of obesity. The existing research base for such an approach is discussed, along with future directions for clinical practice and research.

Letters To The Editor

I would like to comment on a letter of Dr. R. A. Norton, published in the March 1967 issue of Pediatrics, wherein he states that he finds Pediatrics almost useless to a man in private practice. My training is such that I am not "board eligible," but I have been active in pediatrics since 1940. I know there are many physicians in the same situation. I practice in a state that suffers from insufficient pediatric manpower, and I am associated with a hospital that has one of the few approved pediatric resident training programs in our state. Successful clinical practice is based on the thorough knowledge of the basic sciences.
