    • Abstract:
      The article examines the pediatric obesity management in rural clinics in California and the role of telehealth in distance education. Healthcare providers identified several barriers in managing pediatric obesity, including lack of local weight management programs, lack of patient motivation, and lack of family involvement in treatment. Respondents refer to patient education materials and strategies to link patients with community treatment programs and training in brief as helpful resources.
