| Abstract: | Purpose: To elicit patient experiences of weight management discussions with providers and provide recommendations for future weight-related discussions.; Methods: 1000 patients who recently saw their provider for non-weight specific appointments were mailed measures of demographics, self-reported height and weight, activity level, adherence, perceptions of and recommendations for weight-related discussions, and internalized weight bias. This study was primarily descriptive and utilized a mixed method design including collection of quantitative and qualitative data.; Results: 242 patients responded (24 % response rate); 32.4 % overweight (N = 72), 41.9 % obese (N = 93). 47 % of overweight and 71 % of obese patients recalled that their provider discussed weight; 92 % were motivated to follow recommendations and 89 % felt confident doing so. Most patients (75 %) would like their provider to be "very direct/straightforward" when discussing weight, and 52 % would be "not at all offended" if they were diagnosed as "overweight/obese." Most patients (63 %) reported being "extremely comfortable" discussing weight with providers. Patients with higher BMI had higher levels of internalized weight bias (p |
