Brief Summary
This project will compare two training approaches for US Preventive Services Task Force recommended obesity care in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) across four aims. Aim 1 compares patient-level effectiveness \[i.e., patient relative weight change and the proportion of patients who achieve clinically significant weight loss\]. Aim 2 compares reach (patient treatment utilization). Aim 3 compares primary care provider (PCP) referrals to USPSTF-recommended care at 12 (adoption) and 24 months (maintenance) and short- and long-term changes in provider obesity care competencies . Aim 4 compares implementation and service costs.
