Summary of Clinical Issue (200-250 words):
Childhood obesity is one of the problems that affect the United
States and other developed economies. Obesity among children
and youths is widely recognized as an issue that generates a lot
of adverse health impacts. For instance, childhood obesity is a
major indicator of future mental and physical health problems.
In spite of the highest rates of childhood obesity in the country
in the last three decades, obesity has been linked to other more
serious health problems such as cardiovascular diseases and
diabetes. As nurses and other health professionals continue to
grapple with this problem, there are still no clear treatment
approaches. Health professionals usually do not have a
comprehensive guideline on where to manage the nearly one-
third of their populations who present the medical care with
obesity that coexists with other medical conditions and
problems. Numerous treatment models have been proposed to
address this rising public health concern. These approaches
often include use of the traditional interventions such as
pharmacological interventions. However, overemphasis on one
treatment intervention may fail to generate the desired
objectives. While the traditional strategies to obesity prevention
and management have placed emphasis on medications, wider
attention to other dimensions of treatment is necessary. Such
treatment interventions may include the multi-tiered or holistic

3. strategies that incorporate both pharmacological and non-
pharmacological interventions. For instance, a wider focus
should incorporate practices such as assessing the mental health
impacts of obesity on the patients. Thus, a public health multi-
tiered approach to obesity that emphasizes on promotion,
prevention, and individualized interventions are recommended.
PICOT Question: Is the use of multi-tiered approach to the
treatment and management of childhood obesity more effective
than overreliance on only pharmacological interventions in
reducing obesity prevalence rates?

research
Method
The main data gathering method that was used quantitative
content analysis
Interviews were used for data gathering
Questionnaires were used as the main data gathering methods.
Key Findings of the Study
The study found that pediatric obesity algorithm can help to
guide health professionals with a practical and evidence-based
approach to diagnosis and management of childhood obesity
The study found that the average attendance for the program
was about 7.6 per session, with 71 percent attending.
The study found that the utilization of multi-tiered approach to
obesity management is more effective than traditional models.

6. Recommendations of the Researcher
The study recommends families to use algorithmic tools to
manage and reduce childhood obesity.
The study recommends the use of community-based obesity
prevention and management strategies, which can help to
significantly reduce BMIs and behavior change among obesity
patients
The study recommends future investigations into the
significance of public health multi-tiered approach to obesity,
emphasizing on health promotion, prevention, and
individualized interactions.
