Area of Science:

Occupational therapy
Public health
Behavioral science

Background:

Excess body weight is linked to increased disability and limitations in daily activities.
Occupational therapists play a role in supporting patients with weight management within healthcare systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a clinical tool for healthcare professionals.
To support referrals to occupational therapists for weight management.
To assess priorities for weight management interventions.

Main Methods:

A co-design process was used with six primary care occupational therapists.
The process focused on designing a screening tool prototype.

Main Results:

The co-design process identified three key challenges: weight as a "sticky" topic, negative messaging impacting care, and a lack of referrals.
These challenges informed the design elements of the screening tool.

Conclusions:

The Occupational Therapy Health Routines Screening Tool prototype was developed.
The tool aims to facilitate occupational therapy's role in weight management support.
