Abstract:
Obesity is a costly and complex health issue that precipitates and/or complicates many medical conditions. Clinical recommendations include a comprehensive approach to weight loss with a combination of diet, physical activity, behavioral interventions, pharmacotherapy or surgery to achieve weight loss. Care in the primary care setting is integral in obesity management. Outside of their clinical role, primary care physicians serve as role models, educators, and promoters of healthy lifestyle practices and leaders in obesity treatment. Physician recommendations have consistently been shown to exert a powerful influence on patient behavior, but there is a substantial gap between patients who would benefit from obesity care and those receiving it. Providers, especially primary care, cite many obstacles to addressing obesity including lack of time, expertise, and resources. This review focuses on describing the feasibility and evidence for tackling obesity through provider-led multidisciplinary weight management programs. A literature search was conducted in Med Line and PubMed for published articles on multidisciplinary weight management programs that included lifestyle modification (diet and exercise), behavioral modification and a physician (MD/DO) with one or more of the following multidisciplinary team members: nutritionist/registered dietician (RD), behavioral health provider (BH), case manager (CM), pharmacist (Pharm), nursing (RN), and research staff. Relevant articles from bibliographies of systematic reviews/meta-analyses were included as well. Ten studies qualified, and we organized the articles to discuss the following three themes: diet and exercise, behavioral therapies and barriers, and facilitators for clinical weight management programs. The studies in this mini-review of multidisciplinary weight programs that included physicians reiterate the guidelines for successful treatment of obesity, with more research needed to fully understand how primary care providers can assist higher risk patient populations, particularly those of lower socioeconomic status who are disproportionally impacted by obesity. Impact statement Obesity is a major multi-faceted, chronic disease that increases the risk of morbidity and mortality of children and adults particularly impacting high-risk populations and those of lower socioeconomic status. Given provider time constraints, models of care to effectively and efficiently address obesity in primary care are key. Although physician recommendations can exert a powerful influence on behavior, providers often feel powerless to adequately address obesity due to the complexity of physical and behavioral health problems. This mini-review focuses on describing the feasibility and evidence for tackling obesity through provider-led multidisciplinary weight management programs.

Abstract:
The prevalence of obesity is continuously increasing in Germany. Only one third of German adult inhabitants exhibits a desirable body weight. However, there is still a discrepancy between both formerly separated countries of Germany. The prevalence of obesity is higher in the eastern part, the former German Democratic Republic (DDR). Also, the increase in obesity (BMI > 30) in men and women was somewhat higher in the eastern part. The main intention of prevention of overweight is stabilizing or moderately reducing body weight by lowering energy intake and by increasing physical activity. Also therapy of obesity should be based on dietary restriction, enhanced physical activity and behavioural therapy. Therapy with drugs is only recommended if the above mentioned programs were not successful. A surgical therapy is recommended in cases with a BMI of > 40 or of > 35 with significant health implications. The governmental authorities support a lot of activities about healthy eating and physical activity partially together with groups of industry.

Abstract:
Background: Efficacious pediatric weight management (PWM) programs have existed for over two decades, but there is limited evidence that these programs have been translated into regular practice. There is even less evidence that they have reached communities experiencing health disparities where access to care is limited. The purpose of this project was to use a community-engaged approach to select an evidence-based PWM program that could be delivered with the available resources in a community that is experiencing health disparities. Methods: The project was developed by the Partnership for Obesity Planning and Sustainability Community Advisory Board (POPS-CAB) in the Dan River Region of southwest Virginia. The POPS-CAB included representatives from a local pediatric health care center, the Danville/Pittsylvania Health Department, Danville Parks and Recreation, the Boys and Girls Club, and the Fralin Center for Translational Obesity Research (n=15). Three PWM programs were identified that met the criteria of demonstrating short and longer-term efficacy, across multiple studies and diverse populations, in reducing childhood obesity for children between the ages of 8 to 12 years across multiple studies. The programs included the Traffic Light Diet, Bright Bodies, and Golan and colleagues' Home Environmental Change Model. All three programs included a high frequency of in-person sessions delivered over a 6-month period, but one included an adapted version that delivered the content via interactive technology and could be delivered with far fewer resources (Family Connections adapted from the Home Environmental Change Model). A mixed-methods approach was used to determine program selection. This approach included individual POPS-CAB member rating of each program, followed by small group discussions, a collective quantitative rating, and, once all programs were reviewed a rank ordering of programs across characteristics. Finally, a large group discussion was conducted to come to agreement on the selection of one program for future local adaptation and implementation. All small and large group discussions were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim to identify themes that influenced the program selection decision. The quantitative results were averaged across individuals and across the groups. Qualitative results were reduced to meaning units, and then grouped into categories, and lastly, themes. Results: Individual ratings across Bright Bodies, Family Connections, and Traffic Light were 3.9 (0.3), 3.6 (0.5), and 3.4 (0.4), respectively. The ratings differed slightly between community and academic partners demonstrated by a higher rating for Bright Bodies by community members and a higher rating for Family Connections by academic members. After small group discussions the average group ratings across the programs was 3.8 (0.4) for Bright Bodies, 3.5 (0.6) for Family Connections, and 3.4 (0.6) for Traffic Light. Finally, the rank order of programs for potential implementation was Bright Bodies, Family Connections, and Traffic Light. Qualitative information for each program was broken down into four main themes of discussion, (1) the importance for the chosen program to have a balance of nutrition and physical activity, (2) negative perceptions of calorie counting, (3) a desire to target both the parent and the child, as well as (4) the need for practicality and usability the target settings. During the final large group discussion, the above themes suggest that the primary reasons that Bright Bodies was selected included the availability of nutrition information, structured physical activity sessions, presence of a usable workbook, as well as the balance of parent and child involvement. Conclusion: Key considerations in program selection were related more to the program content, delivery channel, and available resources for replication rather than simply selecting a program that was less resource intensive.

This research study focuses on examining the views of patients, their families, and staff member providers of the Centre for Healthy Active Living a clinical obesity management program for children and youth at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, in Ottawa, Canada. Qualitative methodology was used and content analysis was conducted with data obtained from family questionnaires and a provider focus group. Analysis of obtained data was conducted to determine alignment of views between patient, family, and provider views, and the formal goals of the program. Emerging themes from the data indicated that patients and families place higher value on the formal goals of “improve quality of life; improve eating behaviours; improving fitness, increasing activity levels; and empower/strengthen families.” (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, 2012). Specific recommendations with regards to each component of these goals were provided. Instrumental, procedural, systemic, and conceptual recommendations of program components were also provided.

Abstract:
Obesity is presently one of the leading preventable causes of mortality and is an increasing issue that affects the workplace. This pilot study investigates the effects of a multidisciplinary obesity management program on employees within a community hospital setting. The purpose of this study is to assess the outcome factors of the intervention and to detect an association between the participants’ biological factors, psychological status, eating behaviors, and lifestyle components to that of their current body weight status. Methods. An evaluation of a tailored obesity management program was conducted in a corporate setting with employees of a large community hospital. The evaluation sought to determine if this program could be efficiently and effectively implemented in this corporate setting. This program also allowed an exploration of those sociological, biological, and behavioral factors that were associated with weight loss. An employee health outcomes assessment visit was used to identify, recruit and enroll overweight employees into a quasi-experimental study designed to evaluate potential impacts of a tailored weight management program. The 6-month intervention included medical assessments, nutritional coaching, activity counseling, and behavioral therapy. The following specific aims were proposed for this dissertation research: Specific Aim 1 sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary weight loss program to change a series of modifiable health risk factors, body composition, clinical indicators, and biological markers from baseline to 6 months for overweight participants. Specific Aim 2 evaluated factors associated with achieving weight loss and patterns of attrition from the program. Weight and lifestyle factors included onset of obesity, family history, weight loss history, weight loss goals, self-perceptions, physical activity factors, and eating habits/patterns. Within Specific Aim 3, we determined if body composition measurements [body mass index (BMI), weight, basal metabolic rate, fat mass, percent fat, fat free mass, and total body water] correlated with standing or supine measurements of waist, hip, or thigh circumferences. We also investigated if there was a significant difference between recording measurements made in both positions. This aim sought to determine if both sets of position measurements needed to be included for subsequent weight management studies. Results. Forty-six (46) employees, with a mean age of 48.6 +/- 10.9 years and predominately female (91.3%), consented to participate in the pilot intervention, with 26 participants completing the 6 months (response = 50.9%). Statistically significant changes from baseline were seen at 6 months in the 44 participants that continued in the study after enrollment. In the intent to treat analysis, the participants, regardless of completion status, had a clinically significant (p<.0001) mean percent weight loss of 4.1% and a total weight loss of 9.3 pounds, with a corresponding 5.6% mean weight loss in those participants that completed the program. When analyzing predictors of attrition from the program, models indicated significant associations between overall program attrition and an increase in baseline systolic blood pressure (p=0.02), along with decreased compliance with eating three meals per day (p=0.04). Primary attrition (dropout < 3 months) was statistically associated with an increase in baseline systolic blood pressure (p=0.02) and decreased compliance with eating three meals per day (p=0.01). Secondary attrition (dropout between 3-6 months) was associated with decreased compliance with eating three meals per day (p=0.05) and an increase in weight loss expectations during the intervention (p=0.05). The mean absolute difference between the two techniques (standing vs. supine) was 4.14 inches for waist, hip, and thigh measurements combined. An increase in body mass index was associated with a greater magnitude of discrepancy in the measurement between the two techniques for waist circumference (p=0.02). Conclusions. The changes seen following this multidisciplinary intervention were clinically significant and advantageous for the participants. These substantial results suggest that the use of multidisciplinary weight management programs merits further investigation in larger, randomized, controlled trials.

Comprehensive worksite wellness programs were first introduced in the United States in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with the goals of improving health, reducing health care expenditures, and demonstrating senior management’s commitment to the health and well-being of workers (Ozminkowski et al, 2002). As the annual cost of employer-sponsored family health coverage increased four percent between 2012 and 2013 (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2013), many companies are turning to worksite wellness programs. Wellness programs have shown not only to reduce health care costs, but also decrease absenteeism and increase employee satisfaction. The studies on the benefits of wellness programs are not conclusive; there seems to be a general lack of good data collection and analysis. This report discusses what determines an employer’s likelihood of offering a wellness program, what determines an employee’s participation in a wellness program, and a benefits analysis of wellness programs.

Obesity and overweight are complex global issues that have been and continue to be a significant problem that needs to be addressed. Understanding obesity and overweight are fundamental to finding practical and sustainable solutions. Innovation has different meanings to different people and can be applied in many different sectors in varying forms and at different levels. Innovation in healthcare is no longer a luxury but rather a necessity. In this thesis, we review some concepts of interest to healthcare innovation briefly and also examine the topic of obesity and overweight from a global perspective and with a focus on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We review global obesity and overweight and then focus on obesity and overweight in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We also reflect on the work of Prof. Clayton Christensen "Jobs to be Done Theory" and how it can help address innovation in the healthcare system and in particular applying it to the general concept of tackling obesity. The thesis highlights a critical understanding of obesity based mostly on the work of Jason Fung, MD in his recent book titled "The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss." A novel integrated solution for tackling obesity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be proposed incorporating insights from the research material on both innovation and obesity with the utilization of concepts gained from the System Design and Management program at MIT. The concept of innovation in the healthcare setting is shown to be instrumental in creating an opportunity for higher quality, cheaper and faster delivery of health services heavily dependent on the work of Prof. Clayton Christensen. Also, we highlight the need for an innovative integrated solution at different levels of the system including the individual level and institute level and finally the national levels. We believe there is a genuine need to approach innovation in the healthcare setting at the different establishments within the healthcare system and the importance of cross-pollinated innovation teams.

Abstract:
The World Health Organization noted that 2 global health problems have reached epidemic proportions: obesity and type 2 diabetes. These conditions affect nearly 170 million people worldwide. The clinical practice problem addressed by this project was the prevalence of adults ages 50 and older in an ambulatory care setting who suffer from obesity and diabetes and may benefit from a tailored weight management and nutrition education intervention. The purpose of this project was to design a program that would decrease body mass index and hemoglobin A1c in older patients through adaption of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program. The evidence supporting this project was obtained through a systematic literature review. The self-efficacy theory guided the project, and the evidence-based practice model used to plan the translation of the evidence into practice was the plan-do-check/study-act cycle, a continuous process improvement model used in many health care settings. The product of the project was an education intervention implementation plan that will be agreed upon by the project team and tracked using a Gantt chart. The program's effectiveness will be evaluated by analyzing the themes of qualitative feedback from patients who complete the program and through comparisons using t test statistics of body mass index and A1c that will be collected at 12 weeks and 12 months after the program start. The social change expected of this program, when implemented, is an increase in patients' engagement in and self-management of their care and a more trusting relationship among patients and the health care team. The recommendations from this project also may be useful in addressing health disparities often experienced by patients suffering from obesity and diabetes.

Abstract:
Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder affecting children in the developed world. The marked increase in prevalence is linked to environmental and behavioural changes; children’s energy expenditure has undoubtedly decreased. Obese children often become obese adults; children from lower socioeconomic groups are more likely to be obese. Obesity is a risk factor for ischaemic heart disease, hypertension, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and certain cancers. There is no proven preventive strategy but limiting time in front of computer and TV screens appears important. Obese children are relatively tall; the combination of obesity with short stature suggests underlying disease (e.g. hypothyroidism; Cushing’s syndrome should be considered). Treatment should be considered if body mass index is greater than the 98th centile and the family are willing to make the necessary lifestyle changes. Drug and surgical treatments have a role in a small number of children, but should always be used on a background of a behavioural weight management programme.

Abstract:
In this chapter, state of the art in mHealth solutions for monitoring and treatment of children suffering from obesity is presented and discussed. mHealth solutions are used for self-management, remote monitoring, and counseling of several chronic conditions including diabetes mellitus, heart failure, Parkinson's disease, etc. Concerning childhood obesity, those solutions can combine targeted games and motivational approaches towards both physical activity and diet, which could help in addressing this serious and global health issue in the direction of minimizing co-morbidities and eventually preventing serious, life-threatening events. Management of obese children requires behavior change. Multi-component intervention programs via a mobile platform can play a significant role in weight control during childhood and adolescence. In continuation of the chapter, the authors report on the newest advances in the field of digital health interventions addressing childhood obesity.

Abstract:
Childhood obesity rates are on the rise worldwide. Considering the significant health and economic costs associated with obesity, emphasis must be placed on addressing this public health dilemma from both preventive and treatment perspectives. Evidence-based parent-centered interventions are an effective way to target obesity in children. Parents play a central role in a child’s lifestyle habits. However, parental recruitment and engagement remains problematic. This challenge must be addressed from a population health framework if improvements in childhood obesity rates are to be achieved. This chapter provides a framework for the prevention and management of childhood obesity from a public health perspective. The need for a population approach to evidence-based parenting programs is advocated to shift population-level rates of obesity. The existing research base for such an approach is discussed, along with future directions for clinical practice and research.

Abstract:
In 2014, almost 2 billion adults had overweight or obesity, and prevalence continues to increase. The fundamental cause of obesity is an imbalance between energy expenditure and intake, but determinants of these behaviours are complex. Obesity is one of the most important preventable causes of morbidity and mortality, and its control is one of the most pressing issues facing modern health care systems. Primary prevention is vital, but many of the health risks can be mitigated by weight loss. There has been considerable progress in weight management interventions for adults, including behavioural programmes, pharmacotherapy, and surgeries, but management in children and adolescents remains more challenging. Weight regain post-intervention is common, and obesity needs to be managed as a chronic, relapsing condition with individual-level interventions offered on repeated occasions. Population-level interventions to curb the environmental drivers of obesity are important for primary prevention and to reinforce individual-level actions for weight control.

Abstract:
Aim: Obesity is a major public health burden in Qatar. Pharmacists can play an important role in providing weight management services (WMS). This study aimed to explore the attitude, practice, perceived competence and role of community pharmacists in obesity and WMS in Qatar. Methods: A mixed-method explanatory sequential design was applied in the study. A validated online questionnaire was used followed by qualitative one-to-one interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 24, while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Of 600 randomly selected community pharmacists, 270 completed the survey (response rate 45%). More than half of the pharmacists indicated that they often or always explain to patients the risks associated with overweight and obesity (56.2%), recommend weight loss medications, herbs or dietary supplements (52.4%), and counsel about their proper use and/or side effects (56.9%). Conversely, a large proportion of the pharmacists rarely or never measure patients’ waist circumference (83.8%) or calculate their body mass index (72.1%). Over 80% had very positive attitudes towards their role in weight management. Around three-quarters of the participants agreed or strongly agreed that difficulty in following-up with the patient (80.7%), lack of private consultation area (75.7%) and lack of pharmacist time (75.2%) are barriers for implementing WMS. More than 60% stated that they are fully competent in 7 out of 24 WMS related statements. Some emerging include pharmacist’s role and impact in weight management, need for training about weight management, impact of social media on patients’ perceptions, and adoption of best practices for WMS. Conclusion: Qatar pharmacists reported positive attitudes towards provision of WMS. However, they identified several barriers against provision of comprehensive weight management programs. Several strategies are proposed to overcome barriers and to improve provision of WMS in community pharmacies in Qatar.
