What the study is about

This project will compare two training approaches for US Preventive Services Task Force recommended obesity care in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) across four aims. Aim 1 compares patient-level effectiveness [i.e., patient relative weight change and the proportion of patients who achieve clinically significant weight loss]. Aim 2 compares reach (patient treatment utilization). Aim 3 compares primary care provider (PCP) referrals to USPSTF-recommended care at 12 (adoption) and 24 months (maintenance) and short- and long-term changes in provider obesity care competencies . Aim 4 compares implementation and service costs.

Being studied: Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Obesity Care; Implementation as Usual Control
