Abstract

Although the treatment of both adult and pediatric obesity in primary care is in its infancy, there is a growing base of evidence that patient-centered strategies, used by clinicians alone or in combination with other health-care professionals or community programs, can be effective. This paper presents, using the 5 As framework (Ask, Advise, Agree/Assess, Assist, and Arrange), behavioral strategies that assist patients making lifestyle changes for weight management.
