	Ensuring Quality
	New Provider Toolkits on Obesity



	Less than one-third of overweight patients report being counseled by their physicians regarding obesity, yet in a recent survey nine out of 10 Californians said they want their doctors to be their primary source of information about nutrition, physical activity and other issues associated with weight management. These toolkits, compiled by the California Medical Association (CMA) Foundation and California Association of Health Plans and released in April 2008, are comprehensive guides to help doctors assist their patients in weight management and obesity prevention. Each toolkit contains: · Effective communication techniques to help patients make decisions · Strategies for managing overweight patients · Patient education resources · Guidelines and policy statements on obesity prevention, weight management, diet, physical activity counseling, body mass index (BMI) screening and other measurements Adult Obesity Provider Toolkit Child and Adolescent Obesity Provider Toolkit Pre/Post Bariatric Surgery Provider Toolkit CDC BMI-for-age growth charts are available at: http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/ The National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ) is a valuable resource for childhood obesity tools.
