“…Increasingly family-based behavioral interventions have been used to promote weight loss in typically developing children (Young, Northern, Lister, Drummond & O'Brien, 2007;Epstein, Paluch, Roemmich & Beecher, 2007). The potential advantages of involving parents and perhaps siblings include better control of diet at home and when eating out, influence over planning and scheduling of daily activities, including physical activity and grocery shopping trips, and opportunities for frequent supportive interactions.…”

We review the literature on the prevalence and conditions resulting in overweight and obesity in people with intellectual disability (ID), followed by obesity treatment research with typically developing children and adaptations for children with ID. In addition to proposing directions for future research and practice, we report a comprehensive randomized control trial (RCT) of familybased behavioral intervention targeting weight loss among adolescents with Down syndrome.

“…This can be carried out by the families and the involved organizations. Martin said that legislators and policy makers can use their powers to design preventive measures to inhibit the delivery of unhealthy foods (57) Studies aimed to assess the impact of health interventions were more successful when they involved parents and children instead of only children (58). Nonetheless, some studies reported that parental participation in these programs was ineffective (59).…”

Background: Many people are concerned with the problems and side effects caused by increased levels of fast food (FF) consumption, especially among adolescents. Several studies have assessed the problems of FF consumption particularly weight gain and obesity. However, few address the methods, strategies, and policies needed to reduce this issue. Objectives: This study aims to explore parent and stakeholder views and perspectives on the means to reduce adolescent FF consumption. Patients and Methods:The present paper is based on original research conducted from June to December 2012. In this study, 19 participants were selected using purposive sampling. Their experiences and perspectives were explored using in-depth semistructured interviews; a thematic content analysis with a conventional approach was conducted to analyze the data. Using this approach, the transcripts were coded openly, and subcategories and categories were chosen based on similarities. Subsequently, themes were defined at a more abstract level. Results: Three main themes were identified as approaches and strategies suggested by parents and stakeholders to reduce FF consumption. These included culture building, supporting healthy eating styles, and controlling and supervising healthy eating styles. Conclusions: Based on the extracted themes, some interventions can be suggested to reduce FF consumption among young people. A holistic approach that incorporates a change of culture, social support, and supervision is promising. Further quantitative studies are also recommended.

“…A number of published efficacy studies [34][35][36] describe the positive outcomes associated with pediatric weight management programs delivered in university-based settings. However, little attention has been paid to the translation and dissemination of these interventions, particularly to underserved populations [29,30,34].…”
