Effective public health policies require contextually relevant evidence to guide them, which demands sustained research capacity. The objectives of this study are to determine research productivity in Latin America and in the United States focused on Latino populations and examine domains of research capacity (research infrastructure, training programs, mentoring, funding, and networks). We conducted a scoping review of indexed childhood obesity\u2010related articles published June 2015\u2013December 2019. We collected data on perceptions of capacity for childhood obesity research among Latin American investigators through an online survey. We identified 612 childhood obesity\u2010related articles (505 from Latin America, 124 from the United States, and 17 US\u2013Latin America collaborations). Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and the United States are the top publishing countries. There are similar numbers of obesity, nutrition, and physical activity articles, but physical activity research capacity lagged in other domains (research training, funding, and networking opportunities). Complementary research areas, including sedentary behavior, systems science, and policy studies, are uncommon in Latin America but more prevalent in the United States, whereas sleep research is nascent across settings. Realizing the promise of an effective cross\u2010border collaborative childhood obesity prevention agenda will require committed investment in all domains of research capacity and across all relevant topics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/obr.13244","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,7]],"date-time":"2021-04-07T06:59:55Z","timestamp":1617778795000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Capacity for childhood obesity research in Latin American and US Latino populations: State of the field, challenges, opportunities, and future directions"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Deborah","family":"Salvo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Prevention Research Center, Brown School Washington University in St. Louis St. Louis Missouri USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diana C.","family":"Parra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prevention Research Center, Brown School Washington University in St. Louis St. Louis Missouri USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alejandra","family":"J\u00e1uregui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Activity and Healthy Lifestyles, Center for Nutrition and Health Research National Institute of Public Health Cuernavaca Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eugen","family":"Res\u00e9ndiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prevention Research Center, Brown School Washington University in St. Louis St. Louis Missouri USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Armando","family":"Garcia\u2010Olvera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Activity and Healthy Lifestyles, Center for Nutrition and Health Research National Institute of Public Health Cuernavaca Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Velazquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Activity and Healthy Lifestyles, Center for Nutrition and Health Research National Institute of Public Health Cuernavaca Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Aguilar\u2010Farias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education, Sports and Recreation, UFRO Activate Research Group University of the Frontier Temuco Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Uriyo\u00e1n","family":"Col\u00f3n\u2010Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Global Health, Milken Institute School of Public Health George Washington University Washington District of Columbia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adriano A.","family":"Hino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Technology Graduate Program Pontifical Catholic University of Parana Curitiba Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"III","given":"Harold W.
