Promotion:
Description
Four modules, each an hour in length. The series will run for four weeks: February 7,14,21,28 of 2023
Overall Goal of Four Modules:
Participants will be introduced to the new released BMI growth charts for children that include severe obesity and the newly released American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guidelines for care of healthy weight, overweight, obesity and severe obesity in pediatrics.
Participants will have practical and accurate information about how pediatric primary care can engage families around issues related to healthy weight management, recognizing the impacts of Social Determinants of Health with an emphasis on nutrition security as well as food security, and the roles of bias, stigma and cultural issues in communication and care delivery.
Participants will be knowledgeable of the role of Motivational Interviewing in healthy weight management and will have a chance to model it with their peers.
Participants will engage in community learning with peers while gathering around the topic of pediatric primary care healthy weight initiatives.
Participants will be knowledgeable about the current state of pediatric overweight and obesity as a chronic illness, the factors that prevent and augment it, and models that successfully address it in community health center settings.
Overall Evaluation:
Participant statement of specific change made in center management in pediatric primary care weight management.
Participant rating on impact of learning series on clinical care guidelines
Participants will identify the scope of pediatric overweight and obesity in their centers and a quality improvement initiative to address this.
