Childhood obesity is a major concern in the United States. Because children's diets can be significantly influenced by parental behavior (e.g., food purchases, meal preparation), researchers have included family intervention components in some childhood weight-loss programs. The relative benefits of adding the family component have not been well-established. This meta-analysis compared the mean effect sizes of family-behavioral, other treatment, and control weight-loss groups for children. A comprehensive literature review identified 16 studies with a total of 44 treatment groups. Results indicated that interventions containing a family-behavioral component produced larger effect sizes than the alternative treatment groups. This demonstrates that the inclusion of a family component may be advantageous to a child's weight-loss treatment.
儿童肥胖是美国的一个主要问题。由于儿童的饮食会受到父母行为（如食品购买、膳食准备）的显著影响，研究人员在一些儿童减肥项目中纳入了家庭干预部分。增加家庭部分的相对益处尚未得到充分证实。这项荟萃分析比较了儿童家庭行为减肥组、其他治疗减肥组和对照组的平均效应量。一项全面的文献综述确定了16项研究，共有44个治疗组。结果表明，包含家庭行为成分的干预措施产生的效应量比其他治疗组更大。这表明纳入家庭部分可能有利于儿童的减肥治疗。
