The primary goal of this program is to prevent and reduce obesity

in society through a multi-component obesity prevention intervention.

The program's specific concern is the rise in obesity in society, which is

a growing public health issue. The program aims to address this concern

by implementing evidence-based interventions such as lifestyle

counseling, physical activity promotion, and nutrition education, with a

focus on those with a BMI of 30 or higher and those with obesity-

related comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. The

program's primary goal is to improve patients' overall health outcomes

and lower healthcare costs associated with obesity-related diseases by

lowering obesity prevalence.

• The "Preventing Obesity" project will first use the CFIR to identify

factors that influence evidence-based therapy uptake. This framework

consists of 39 components and five major areas to support

implementation research and practice. The CFIR framework's

comprehensiveness and ability to identify and overcome significant

barriers to the adoption of our evidence-based intervention make it

ideal for obesity prevention implementation research.

• The Obesity Prevention Initiative will also use the theoretical Domains

framework (TDF), which emphasizes theoretical domains that promote

behavior change. The TDF will also aid in the prevention of obesity by

identifying diet and exercise behavior modification variables. The TDF

will also highlight potential barriers to behavior change, which may

influence efforts to overcome them. The TDF will also be used by the

project's stakeholders to develop interventions that target their target

demographics' most critical behavior change factors.

• The Diffusion of Innovations theory will also be used in this program to

develop and implement obesity prevention initiatives for a variety of

target populations.

Summary of the Research

The goal of this multi-component obesity prevention intervention

program is to reduce obesity prevalence in patients by 10% by

implementing evidence-based interventions such as lifestyle counseling,

physical activity promotion, and nutrition education. The program

primarily targets patients with a BMI greater than 30 and obesity-related

comorbidities, with the goal of improving their overall health outcomes

and lowering healthcare costs associated with obesity-related diseases.

However, the program may face obstacles such as patient and

organizational resistance to change, treatment costs, and a lack of

recognition of obesity as a chronic disease. It is recommended that

implementation science be used to help overcome these barriers by

identifying key stakeholders, resources needed, and funding sources. To

ensure the program's success, it is recommended that a needs assessment

be conducted, a thorough implementation plan be developed, and

patients and stakeholders be involved in program development and

implementation. In terms of evidence quality, the study used network

meta-analysis and a systematic review, both of which are considered high-

quality designs.

Specific Concerns the program aims to Address

Researchers and academics interested in obesity prevention are among

the study's internal stakeholders, while policymakers, healthcare

professionals, and educators are among its external participants.

The recommendations of the practice to be implemented based on the

evidence in the program preventing obesity include:

• Combining physical activity with healthy eating habits to prevent

obesity

• Involving individual, family, community, and policy levels in the

intervention

• Adopting an implementation science strategy to guarantee successful

implementation of the obesity prevention program

• Conducting a needs assessment before implementing the program to

identify healthcare professionals, patients, and community members

who will be impacted by it and their perceptions of it

• Using the needs assessment to identify any gaps that might hinder

achieving the program's objectives

• Involving patients and stakeholders in program development and

implementation to guarantee that the program is patient-centered and

culturally appropriate

• Ensuring that the program is evidence-based and patient-centered to

increase its effectiveness and sustainability.

Program’s implications

Research Questions

Preventing obesity program implications is that it will:

• Reduce the prevalence of obesity in the patient population by 10%.

• Target individuals with a BMI above 30 and comorbidities related to

obesity.

• Implement evidence-based interventions such as lifestyle counseling,

physical activity promotion, and nutrition education.

• Offer activities such as nutrition education, exercise sessions, training in

behavioral techniques, and specific dietary prescriptions.

• Address both physical activity and diet to prevent obesity.

• Champion for a multi-component obesity prevention intervention.

• Enhance patients' overall health outcomes.

• Lower healthcare expenses connected to obesity-related diseases.

• Which strategies are most successful at preventing childhood and

adolescent obesity?

• What kind of intervention is most successful in avoiding childhood and

teenage obesity?

• Are there any one-on-one strategies that can successfully stop

childhood and teenage obesity?

Evidence based practices suggested

• Lifestyle counseling

• Physical activity promotion

• Nutrition education
