This Literature Review will be with the same exact topic of the PICO assignment I just requested before. 

Please keep it with the same topic of Child Obesity 

It is for a Masters FNP writing assignment

Why It Matters 

Childhood obesity is a major public health concern, linked to serious long-term health problems, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. It also increases the risk of bullying and can lead to obesity in adulthood. 

So for this assignment, most effective strategies to decrease pediatric obesity in primary care settings.
This is certainly an area/challenge that FNPs are constantly faced with in primary care and particularly with some specific cultures or ethnic groups. 

Select an allied health care profession and provide a description of the jobs and services provided by that profession. Research regulatory or professional organizations that serve the profession you chose, and describe an area in which the profession seeks to improve or expand. In what other ways might the profession grow to better serve the ever-changing health care population?

Select and describe one of the key factors that influenced the evolution of the U.S. health care delivery system to what it is today. What challenges and opportunities are still relevant? How is the selected key factor affecting health care delivery today? How might it affect future health care delivery?
