BackgroundChildhood obesity is a growing epidemic of great concern for our nation, including pediatric populations treated at military treatment facilities.ObjectiveThis study aims to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness of a primary care–based structured weight management program in a sample of pediatric patients with obesity at a military treatment facility.MethodsThis study was a retrospective chart review of patients enrolled in the All About Me Program (AAMP) from August 1, 2011, through July 10, 2012. Baseline demographics, 5-2-1-0 behavioral targets, and anthropometric measures were obtained from 54 enrollees. Pre- and post-program weight, body mass index (BMI) percentile, and 5-2-1-0 behavioral targets were compared for 20 patients who completed the program which consisted of a total of five visits over 3 months.ResultsParticipants showed a significant reduction in their BMI, improvement in daily servings of fruits and vegetables, reduction in recreational screen time from baseline, improvement in daily physical activity, and reduction in consumption of sugary beverages.ConclusionsThese preliminary findings are a promising indicator that primary care–based obesity interventions may be effective for the management and treatment of pediatric obesity.Implications for NursingThis evidence-based toolkit provides a practical point-of-care guidance on the prevention, assessment, and treatment of childhood obesity and can be easily implemented in other primary care settings.

Abstract Background: Connect for Health is an evidence-based weight management program with clinical- and family-facing components for delivery in pediatric primary care for families of children ages 2 to 12 years. We used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to guide formative work prior to national implementation. The purpose of this study was to describe the process and results of stakeholder engagement and program adaptation.Methods: We used mixed qualitative and quantitative methods to iteratively adapt and optimize the program by assessing needs and perspectives of clinicians and parents, as well as contextual barriers, facilitators and organizational readiness for the uptake of the proposed program tools and implementation strategies. We conducted interviews with primary care clinicians from four health care organizations in Boston, MA, Denver, CO, and Greenville, SC and used principles of immersion-crystallization for qualitative analyses. We also conducted surveys of parents of children with a body mass index ≥ 85th percentile.Results: We reached thematic saturation after 52 clinician interviews. Emergent themes representing the CFIR domains of intervention characteristics, outer and inner setting, and process included: (1) importance of evidence-based clinical decision support tools that integrate into the workflow and do not extend visit time; (2) developing resources that respond to family’s needs; (3) using multimodal delivery options for family resources; (4) addressing childhood obesity while balancing competing demands; (5) emphasizing patient care rather than documentation and establishing sustainability plans; and (6) offering multiple training methods that incorporate performance feedback. Of the parents surveyed (n=400), approximately 50% were Spanish-speaking and over 75% reported an annual income < $50,000. Parents affirmed the importance of addressing weight management during well-child visits, being provided with referrals and resources, and offering multiple methods for resource delivery. Decisions about program modifications were made at the program and healthcare-system level and based on stakeholder engagement findings. Modifications included cultural, geographic, and target audience adaptations, as well as varied resource delivery options. Conclusions: To ensure the fit between the Connect for Health program and national implementation settings, adaptations were systematically made through engagement of clinician and parent stakeholders to support adoption, sustainability, and health outcomes.
