 Childhood obesity is a complex issue that requires a multi-faceted approach. Clinics treating pediatric obesity need to consider both individual health behaviors as well as broader societal factors that contribute to the problem. Community clinic partnerships have been shown to be successful in addressing some of these issues, but they often focus on local health behaviors instead of more deeply rooted social determinants of health. Community engaged research provides a framework for developing partnerships between clinics and communities to address these underlying causes of obesity. This paper explores the relationship between social determinants of health and pediatric obesity treatment, outlines the potential benefits of community clinic partnerships, and presents examples of programs developed by one pediatric obesity clinic to address obesity through community engagement.
