3 You Can Make a Difference Please Discuss Weight Management With Your Patients PATIENT ENGAGEMENT If patients hear from a physician or other healthcare professional that they are overweight, they are 6 more likely to perceive themselves as overweight 2.5 more likely to attempt weight loss In this study 45.2% of individuals with BMI 25 had been told they were overweight 66.4% of individuals with BMI 3 had been told they were overweight Post RE, et al. Arch Intern Med. 211;171: Modified 5 A s: One Approach to Obesity Counseling in Primary Care 1,3 ASK for permission to discuss body weight create a dialogue that is: Nonjudgmental Safe Open ASSESS health status, obesity indicators, root causes of weight gain ADVISE patient of benefits and risks of weight loss, long-term strategy AGREE on goals and treatment expectations ARRANGE/ASSIST (or REFER) to identify barriers, resources, and providers identify, educate, recommend, support The clinician and patient should agree whether weight loss is appropriate in the context of competing priorities 2 1.
