Qualitative Evaluation of Pediatric Obesity Therapeutic Education Programs

Obesity concerns almost the entire planet and is considered in France as a major public health issue: 17% of children are overweight and 4% obese.

Because of this situation, the public authorities have set up programs in order to overcome obesity. Accompanying the child and its family in a process of change through Educational care program seems to be the most suitable. Unfortunately, the abandonment rate of these programs is often high.
