[TeamABC3 @Team_ABC3]

Our 8th study, a collab with @PHAC_GC and @CanPaedSociety's Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program, was led by researchers @SickKidsNews and @UAlberta_FoMD (@nicoledgehring). They examined #severeobesity & #globaldevelopmentaldelay in preschool children. https://t.co/cY30hOkVzD

Study 7 of our team grant was conducted by researchers @SickKidsNews. It is a feasibility trial of the #SickKids #pediatricweightmanagment program - Team #Obesity Management Program (STOMP) Early Years. Check out their progress: https://t.co/jHSJpr54T2

Our sixth study completed a trial of @Aim2Be_app - a gamified app for #children with #overweight & #obesity. Check out their preliminary results: https://t.co/TP8gHMrJ0C. The app was developed with @COF_5210 and @ayogo and is available for free download (https://t.co/Ly7n678iRk)!

Up next we have study 5 which was led by @KatherineMorri6 at @McMasterU as part of #CANPWR. The study found that the Edmonton Obesity Staging System for #Pediatrics better defines health risks than #obesity class. Blogpost here: https://t.co/00Sd2TpDqx

Study 4 of our team grant was led by @AmyCMcpherson and @meaghanklwalker @HBKidsHospital as well as @JessHainesPhD. They interviewed youth with #AutismSpectrumDisorder about what was important to them about #weight and their bodies 🙌 Blogpost: https://t.co/SiKim3N8Hg

[TeamABC3 @Team_ABC3]

Our third study showed that many children in #pediatric #weightmanagement have variable phenotypes with individual eating triggers and behaviours. Conducted by researchers @SickKidsNews, including @KatherineMorri6 and @DrAleneToulany! https://t.co/X8uNARrF9f

[TeamABC3 @Team_ABC3]

Study 2 of our @CIHR_IRSC team grant found that only 37% of children referred to #pediatric #weightmanagement enrolled in care. Conducted by researchers @UAlberta_FoMD, a @WCHRIUofA supported trainee, and @DrKebbe. https://t.co/FYJzQ7uhfX

Another paper hot off the press from our first Team ABC3 study! This one examines #mentalhealth service use and #weight status in #Ontario kids and youth.

[ICES @ICESOntario]

Newly published @ICESOntario study in the J Can Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry that included more than 50,000 children suggests that children with obesity and severe obesity have increased mental health service use. https://t.co/OTxhTupIch

Congrats, @SarahCarsley and @DrAleneToulany!!

[TeamABC3 @Team_ABC3]

Our first @CIHR_IRSC supported study was conducted by researchers at @SickKidsNews, including @SarahCarsley and @AndersonLauraN which examined the prevalence, misclassification, and health care utilization of #severeobesity in Ontario children. https://t.co/W6Ui7V5yF7

[TeamABC3 @Team_ABC3]

Our @CIHR_IRSC team grant (also supported by @ABInnovates, @ONThealth, @WCHRIUofA, @ObesityCan) has ended. We will be sharing summaries of our 8 studies on #severeobesity in Canadian children. To kick things off, check out our team grant as a whole! https://t.co/2vNV9DOehC
