A new AHRQ Views blog post highlights the Agency’s ongoing efforts to curb childhood obesity, which HHS Secretary Tom Price, M.D., has identified as one of the nation’s most pressing health challenges. An AHRQ-funded evidence review was recently used by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force as the basis for its recommendation statement that health providers screen for obesity in children and teenagers. In addition, a number of measures in the Pediatric Quality Measures Program focus on addressing the issue of childhood obesity. Access the blog post, “AHRQ’s Role in Combating Obesity,” by Iris Mabry-Hernandez, M.D., M.P.H., senior advisor of childhood obesity initiatives at AHRQ.
