On January 26, 2021 from 1:00-2:00 pm E.T., the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) hosted a webinar to discuss its new resource to improve measurement on children at high risk for obesity. This resource includes a decision tree that walks researchers and practitioners through a series of questions regarding whether to develop, adapt, or apply an instrument for obesity measures in high-risk populations. The decision tree also provides five real-world case scenarios that describe the rationale for choosing one of the three measurement approaches. During this webinar, you will hear from the authors of the resource and case scenarios:
