5As of Pediatric Obesity Management

Experts at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Centre for Healthy Active Living adapted the 5As of Obesity Management for adults into a family-centered approach to managing pediatric obesity in primary care.

The 5As of Pediatric Obesity Management professional toolkit includes a practitioner’s checklist, patient tear-off pad, a desktop tool to facilitate discussions on weight with patients, and a practitioner’s guide to incorporating the 5As into daily practice.

The below videos were completed and led by the Centre for Healthy Active Living in partnership with HSC as part of Meant2Prevent– a type 2 diabetes prevention initiative for children and youth, funded by SunLife.

These tools were developed for Health Care Practitioners as a tool kit for the management of pediatric obesity.
