![]() 267056 School-based health care providers' satisfaction with online continuing education on obesity guidelinesMonday, October 29, 2012
: 9:10 AM - 9:30 AM
Background The prevalence of obesity and related conditions in children has dramatically risen over the past four decades. National panels of experts have developed recommendations for obesity prevention that incorporates the use of motivational interviewing. Past research, however, suggests that publication of guidelines rarely changes practice. This AHRQ funded study is a comparative effectiveness trial of web-based training on the current recommendations for prevention and treatment of childhood obesity with and without technology decision support.
Purpose The purpose of this presentation is to describe the provider satisfaction with the web-based motivational interviewing training at 24 practice sites in 6 states. Methods A descriptive survey regarding satisfaction with Motivational Interviewing (MI) training was administered at the completion of each online multimedia module. Results Participant satisfaction with the MI training has been high with 100% of providers reporting strongly agree or agree to satisfaction. On a 0 -3 point Likert scale participants reported; met objectives μ = 2.89 (SD = .333), interesting speaker μ = 2.56 (SD = .527), useful in practice μ = 2.56 (SD = .527), knowledgeable speaker μ = 2.89 (SD = .333), and useful audiovisual aids μ = 2.78 (SD = .441). Qualitative data suggests providers plan to incorporate MI into their visits, change the way they discuss behavior change, and use MI tools when counseling patients. Conclusions Providers report high satisfaction with web-based training on MI and strategies for using MI in their practice.
