While youth with emotional and behavioral disorders experience increased rates of obesity, few obesity interventions exist that are tailored to their needs. Qualitative methods were employed to elucidate obesity management practices in this population. In all, 56 participants (i.e. 21 youths with emotional and behavioral disorders, 20 caregivers of youth with emotional and behavioral disorders, and 15 mental health providers) were recruited from community mental health centers. Participants completed a demographic form and semi-structured interview regarding obesity-related behaviors. Barriers (e.g. psychiatric symptoms) and facilitators (e.g. social support) to obesity management were identified. These results highlight preferred intervention components for this unique population.
虽然患有情绪和行为障碍的青少年肥胖率有所上升，但针对他们需求的肥胖干预措施却很少。本研究采用定性方法来阐明该人群的肥胖管理实践。总共从社区心理健康中心招募了56名参与者（即21名患有情绪和行为障碍的青少年、20名患有情绪和行为障碍青少年的照顾者以及15名心理健康服务提供者）。参与者填写了一份人口统计学表格，并就与肥胖相关的行为进行了半结构化访谈。确定了肥胖管理的障碍（如精神症状）和促进因素（如社会支持）。这些结果突出了针对这一独特人群的首选干预组成部分。
