Hello,

The Canadian Paediatric Society is currently conducting a survey among its
2000 members on their knowledge, behaviour and attitudes towards healthy
active living, which probes their approach to counselling obese patients.
The results will be in by the end of March, and CPS would be happy to share
them with you.  Please contact me then for a copy of the report.

The CPS also recommends the following articles from a supplement to
Pediatrics (the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics), published
July 2002 (Vol
110, No 1):

Trowbridge, Sofka, Holt et al called "Management of Child and Adolescent
Obesity: Study design and practitioner characteristics"

Story, Neumark-Stzainer, Sherwood et al. "Management of Child and Adolescent
Obesity: Attitudes, barriers, skills, and training needs among health care
professionals."

...and more

Hope this helps.
