Children's and adolescents' responses to public health obesity policies and weight monitoring in England: A qualitative study
Discussions with children indicate little, if any, perceived positive impacts of the selected obesity policies and weight monitoring, and potential negative impacts for some children. Findings also highlight the need for effective policies to protect children from food marketing and social media risks.
