Motivational Interviewing in Pediatric Obesity: A Meta-analysis of the Effects on Behavioral Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, the effects of motivational interviewing (MI) on children's behavioral changes remain obscure.

Purpose

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of MI on children's lifestyle behavioral changes (fruits and vegetables [F/V], dairy, sugary beverages, calories, snacks, fat intake, moderate vigorous physical activity [MVPA], and screen time).

Methods

Six databases (CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Sciences) from 2005 to 2022 were searched. Thirty-one intervention studies with a comparison group met the criteria. Random-effects models were performed to estimate the pooled effects; exploratory moderation analyses with mixed-effects models were used to explore potential intervention moderators.
