Satisfaction with primary care provider involvement is associated with greater weight loss: Results from the practice-based POWER trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the association between the patient-provider relationship, satisfaction with primary care provider's (PCP) involvement and weight loss in a practice-based weight loss trial.

Methods

POWER was a practice-based randomized controlled behavioral weight loss trial. Participants completed questionnaires about patient-provider relationship and satisfaction with their PCPs' involvement in the trial. PCPs completed a demographics and practice survey. The main outcome was the mean weight change from baseline to 24 months. We created mixed-effect models, accounting for the random effects of patients clustering with the PCP and the repeated outcome assessments within patient over time, and adjusted for randomization assignment, age, gender, race and clinical site.<
