| Abstract: | This article focuses on the evolving role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s), such as liraglutide (Saxenda) and semaglutide (Wegovy), in pediatric weight management for youth aged 12 and older, with potential expansion to younger children. It emphasizes the critical role of pediatric psychologists in supporting behavioral lifestyle management, addressing psychosocial challenges, and ensuring ethical and effective integration of GLP-1 therapy within interdisciplinary care models. The article highlights the need for longitudinal research on psychological and developmental outcomes, the importance of comprehensive clinical approaches combining medication with intensive health behavior and lifestyle treatment, and advocacy to promote equitable access to these therapies amid existing health disparities. Overall, it calls for coordinated efforts in research, clinical practice, and policy to optimize the safe and just use of GLP-1s in treating pediatric obesity. [Extracted from the article] |
