(Faith, 2012) addresses parents and caregivers as "agents of change" and evaluates the strength of evidence that particular parenting strategies can leverage behavior change and reduce positive energy balance in obese youth. This study aims to review core behavior change strategies, evaluate the strength of evidence that parent's influence has in treatment, and identify research gaps and new opportunities.
