Abstract
The aim of this quality improvement project was to increase the providers’ awareness
of pediatric patients with overweight and obesity and initiate change behavior conversations.
A healthy weight motivational interviewing survey tool was adapted from the University
of Connecticut Rudd Center and was implemented at all well-child visits in patients
aged 10 to 18 years at a rural pediatric health care clinic in Alabama. A comparative
analysis was conducted on the baseline and postintervention data. The results of the
motivational interviewing survey tool indicated that there was an increase from 40%
to 90% of patients having their weight status addressed by the health care provider.
