Assessment of Clinicians' Views for Managing Children with Obesity in the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Settings.

Conclusion: Frequencies of routine identification and initiation of treatment for children with obesity are low among health professionals across health care settings, with some exceptions for secondary care clinicians. Greater and more intensive health professional training on the assessment and management of children with obesity is needed in Australia and may be a key factor in increasing health care for this common chronic condition.
