Obesity, a major health concern that now affects over 40 percent of the U.S. population, is highly influenced by multiple factors and social determinants of health (SDOH), including disparities in health care access, morbidity and mortality rates, health behavior, and multiple risk factors. Diagnostic disparities may also exist: data on body mass index (BMI) thresholds — used in diagnosis and metabolic and cardiovascular evaluation — indicate variations in specific race/ethnicity and gender subgroups that may not be incorporated in current practice. These disparities and how they are currently being addressed are discussed during this session, as well as the prevalence of obesity and concomitant conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer among populations of varying age, sex, race/ethnicity, and SDOH.

The prevalence of anxiety within the pediatric population has increased over the past decade, and primary care pediatricians (PCPs) are often called on to manage and treat child and adolescent anxiety. This activity will discuss anxiety in the pediatric population, off-label use of medications for anxiety, and the “black box warning,” which warns the public of serious, permanent, and possibly fatal side effects caused by that medication. A treatment plan for a medication-naïve and a refractory, or treatment-resistant, patient with anxiety will also be highlighted.

People at risk of suicide are often seen in health care settings, and health care organizations have a unique opportunity to identify and facilitate suicide prevention. Although there are long-standing clinical best practices, gaps still exist. Suicide Risk Formulation (SRF) is a process by which a clinician forms a judgment about a patient’s foreseeable risk of suicidal behavior based on data collected from a Suicide Risk Assessment (SRA). Risk formulation may indicate that enhanced interventions and increased support may be needed. Treatment should focus on reducing the immediate suicide risk and exploring any underlying mental-health and/or substance-use disorder. This activity is designed to support health care professionals through risk-mitigation situations by providing an advanced continuing education opportunity to improve practice, skills and knowledge.

Competency in the early recognition, identification and treatment of ADHD in young patients is essential for pediatric primary care clinicians. Pediatric primary care providers should recognize ADHD as a condition requiring chronic care.
