Discussion With All Attendees:
- How to involve other pediatric obesity investigators (including non-U.S.) in this discussion?
- Suggestions for analyses of current data or new data that would inform this process?
- Collaborative projects that would move the process forward?
- Examples of investigators from other fields who have managed to establish standard core variables?
- Once we reach consensus and are ready to make recommendations, how to disseminate and convince colleagues to use core variables?
- Include journal editors in consensus development? Or approach when there is consensus with the goal of requiring that core variables be included in all published reports in addition to other study outcomes (e.g., as online supplementary information)?
