Half of American children are currently overweight or obese, putting them at increased risk for a multitude of obesity-related health problems. Childhood obesity has been linked to physical, emotional, social, and economic consequences, many of which last well into adulthood. Pediatric obesity has also been associated with an increased risk for comorbid medical conditions, poor sleep health, and psychopathology. In children, these risks can be accompanied by lower academic achievement and less favorable social and psychological outcomes. All of these factors have been correlated to decreased self-esteem in children and adolescents diagnosed with the disease.Although there have been many research studies evaluating the self-esteem of children with obesity, this research is limited with regard to pediatric weight management programs based in the community. This dissertation provides a review of the current literature on the impact of pediatric obesity, as well as the current treatment options. It also describes the present study, which examined whether there are changes in the self-esteem of children who participate in a six-month weight management program that targets both the physical and psychological components of the disease. A standardized, multidimensional measure of self-esteem was used to assess how children think about themselves before and after participation in a weight management program. All children who completed the MIGHTY program reported improvements in overall self-concept, particularly with regard to their physical appearance and social functioning. Therefore, this study concluded that pediatric weight management programs in the community can be effective in improving the self-esteem of children diagnosed with obesity. It is hoped that the results of this study will inform future treatment and program development for children diagnosed with pediatric obesity.
