Topic: Pediatric Weight: What Ethical Care Requires Now

Since the American Academy of Pediatrics released its 2023 Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Evaluation and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Obesity, providers have been asked to make decisions in a rapidly changing landscape with limited long-term evidence and profound ethical questions. In this presentation, Dana Sturtevant, MS, RD, will offer an opportunity to slow down, examine the evidence with nuance, consider what remains unknown, and develop a harm reduction framework for the conversations you're already having every day.
