The growing evidence base of childhood obesity prevention and treatment programs do not adequately consider how to adapt these programs for children with disabilities. We propose a Call to Action for health researchers who conduct studies focused on the general population (i.e., without a disability) to work closely with disability researchers to adapt their programs (e.g., obesity management, increased physical activity, and caregiver training in diet and nutrition) to be relevant to both groups. We refer to this approach as inclusion team science. The hope for this Call to Action is that there will be greater synergy between researchers who have high levels of expertise in a specialty area of health (but little or no knowledge of how to adapt their program for children with disabilities) to work more closely with researchers who have a high level of expertise in adapting evidence-based health promotion recommendations and strategies for children with disabilities. Together, these two areas of expertise will lead to inclusive physical activity and nutrition programs for all children.
越来越多的儿童肥胖预防和治疗计划的证据基础并没有充分考虑如何为残疾儿童调整这些计划。我们呼吁从事针对普通人群(即无残疾)的研究的健康研究人员与残疾研究人员密切合作,调整他们的计划(例如肥胖管理、增加身体活动和饮食与营养方面的护理人员培训),使其与这两个群体都相关。我们将这种方法称为包容团队科学。希望这项行动呼吁能够在健康专业领域具有高度专业知识(但对如何为残疾儿童调整其计划知之甚少或一无所知)的研究人员与具有高度专业知识的研究人员之间建立更强的协同作用,后者擅长为残疾儿童调整循证健康促进建议和策略。这两个专业领域的合作将为所有儿童提供包容性的体育活动和营养计划。
