Dr. Michelle White discusses the current state of childhood obesity in the United States and emphasizes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. She will also talk about how social determinants of health, environmental factors, and caretakers can influence children’s weight and overall health. Stay tuned to hear what you can do as a caregiver or healthcare provider to prevent and manage childhood obesity.

Dr. White is a pediatrician and health equity researcher at Duke University. Her research focuses on developing and adapting interventions to eliminate disparities in child obesity- a condition which disproportionately affects children of color and children in lower-income countries.
