Adolescent obesity is one of the most serious public health problems. The most common obesity treatments include built-in of diet, exercise, and behavior therapy has not great success in adolescent obesity treatment. Thus, clinicians should take to effective and practical interventions to manage the adolescent obesity. There are multi-approaches in obesity treatment, but most available forms of treatment are complex, not specific for adolescent age group, and ineffective in long term. Moreover, there had had less attention to psychological issues such as, emotional problems, cognitive intervention, motivation interview, self-monitoring, selfhelp and body image in pediatric obesity management. On the other side, best practical approach to the treatment of adolescent obesity and maintenance is still under controversy. With reference to these concerns, we studied the approaches in recent published papers on adolescent obesity treatment, and subsequently, in this work, a new simple and practical model for adolescent obesity treatment and maintenance as “AIM” model (Assessment, Intervention, and Maintenance model) is suggested. “AIM” model offers an innovative approach for clinical care.
