We interviewed families to explore their views on the role of family navigation (FN) to improve access to and use of health services for managing pediatric obesity. From March to December, 2020, we conducted individual, structured telephone interviews with adolescents with obesity (13-17 years old) and their caregivers from Edmonton and Calgary, Canada. Among our 37 participants (14 adolescents, 23 caregivers), most (n = 27; 73.0%) reported FN could improve their access to obesity management. Participants recommended several activities to support healthcare access and use, including appointment reminders, evening/weekend appointments, parking/transportation support, and in-clinic childcare, all of which help families to attend appointments over an extended period to support obesity management. Most participants preferred FN be offered by healthcare professional ‘navigators’ who were approachable, empathic, and compassionate since issues regarding health and obesity can be sensitive, emotional topics to discuss. Overall, families supported integrating FN into multidisciplinary pediatric obesity management to improve healthcare access and use by navigators who apply a range of practical strategies and relational skills to enhance long-term access and adherence to care. |
