Multilevel Interventions Targeting Obesity: State of the Science and Future Directions

Abstract

A seminal report, released in 2001 by the Institute of Medicine, spurred research on the design, implementation, and evaluation of multilevel interventions targeting obesity and related behaviors. By addressing social and environmental factors that support positive health behavior change, interventions that include multiple levels of influence (e.g., individual, social, structural) aim to bolster effectiveness and, ultimately, public health impact. With more than 20 years of multilevel obesity intervention research to draw from, this review was informed by published reviews ( = 51) and identified intervention trials ( = 103), inclusive of all ages and countries, to elucidate key learnings about the state of the science. This review provides a critical appraisal of the scientific literature related to multilevel obesity interventions and includes a description of their effectiveness on adiposity outcomes and prominent characteristics (e.g., population, setting, levels). Key objectives for future research are recommended to advance innovations to improve population health and reduce obesity.
