While several organizations have recommended that multicomponent, behavioral family-based programs delivered at a moderate- to high-intensity contact frequency have a moderate to high rating of efficacy for improving weight status in children, these types of programs are difficult to translate into many practice-based settings. This presentation will review areas that have been identified within childhood obesity treatment programs that may assist with translation to practice-based settings, and discuss research that has been conducted that examine these factors. An example of a current randomized trial translating a multi-component, behavioral family-based program into an integrated primary care setting in the USA will be provided.
