Multidisciplinary Approach to Obesity Management: A Case Report
Published on: May 30, 2025
Evaluating the implementation of a primary care weight management toolkit
Objective:
With over one-third of adults in the United States classified as obese, new recommendations call for screening all adults for obesity at outpatient visits. The UW Health Fox Valley Clinic does not actively screen for obesity. The objective of this project was to test the feasibility of an obesity screening and brief intervention protocol.
Process:
A modified version of the Promoting Healthier Weight in Primary Care toolkit was implemented into a family medicine practice for 6 weeks. Patients (N = 88) were asked about visit satisfaction and acceptability of weight-focused conversation. Providers (N = 22) were asked about acceptability and feasibility of use.
Outcome:
Almost all patients (97.7%) found the conversation acceptable. Providers found the toolkit helpful, not confusing for their patients, and easy to use. Time was the greatest barrier.
