What the experts said
Researchers surveyed more than 100 parents of children with overweight or obesity to understand what influences their decision to participate in research
Parents reported more reasons to participate in childhood obesity research than reasons not to participate
Mistrust, time demands, and social pressure are barriers that make it harder for parents to participate in childhood obesity research
Research perceptions varied by family characteristics
To improve childhood obesity research, studies need to be easier to join, reduce participation burden, and build trust with families from the beginning
