One limitation of this study was its lack of randomization,
which prohibits a presentation of causal
inferences. The children and their families were
recruited for the intervention based on their failure
in routine and other treatments, their commitment
to long-term participation, and their willingness to
pay for the services rendered. The comparison
group was gathered from the same clinics. Our
method resulted in more girls and higher socioeconomic
status in the treatment group despite providing
subsidies. Yet for these types of interventions,
randomized recruitment is often difficult, as
previously described.42,43 Furthermore, although
there was potential selection bias, our results highlight
the potential advantages of this kind of intensive
treatment for reducing children’s relative
weight and fighting obesity.
