What’s in This Article for You?
Obesity prevention and treatment have traditionally been seen as separate
areas with separate goals. 
However, reaching common ground between these two areas can help individuals
and families either prevent weight gain or help them lose or manage weight.
This article focuses on the following main topics:
1. Childhood obesity prevention initiatives.
2. Two treatment approaches:
a) The traditional clinical approach: Focusing on weight as an individual
issue. 
b) Beyond the clinic: Bridging the gap between clinic and community.
