Motivational Interviewing to Treat Adolescents With Obesity: A Meta-analysis
Overview
This meta-analysis reviews the effectiveness of motivational interviewing for treating overweight and obesity in adolescents, examining anthropometric and cardiometabolic outcomes. The authors found that motivational interviewing alone did not appear effective for weight management, though it may support health-related behaviors when combined with other interventions. The study notes limitations such as small sample sizes and moderate risk of bias, suggesting a need for larger, longer-duration research.
