Findings suggest that an Internet-delivered intervention yielded a modest reduction in weight status that continued 4 months after treatment and that ED attitudes/behaviors were not significantly improved. Group differences on weight loss were not sustained at 4-month follow-up because of parallel improvements in the groups. Future studies are needed to improve program adherence and to further explore the efficacy of Internet-delivery of weight control programs for adolescents.

Results demonstrate that young physicians are eager for leadership training and that continuing medical education in this area can be provided with positive results. Core competencies, curriculum, and evaluative tools need to be developed further and training opportunities need to be expanded to other subpopulations of pediatricians and pediatric health care providers.
