Purpose: To implement an intensive counseling method using the 5 A’s model for obese adults to aid in weight loss.
Design: A quality improvement project was implemented within an inner-city primary care clinic in Memphis, TN. Using the 5 A’s model health-care providers implemented counseling to their obese patients and set patient-centered goals with a follow-up appointment of 1 month.
Methods: Chart reviews, descriptive statistics, and sample paired t-tests were used for data analysis.
Results: This project resulted in 94.11% of patients losing a mean weight of 3.7 pounds over the course of one month.
Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between the use of the 5 A’s model and weight loss in primary care clinics. Implications in Practice: This project increases the awareness of how a systematic behavioral counseling tool can aid weight loss in patients within primary care.
