RESUMO
This project applied a quality improvement design to assess perceived barriers to pediatric overweight and obesity guideline implementation in school-based health centers. An electronic survey was administered to nurse practitioners and licensed practical nurses working in school-based health centers in New York. The most commonly cited primary care-based barriers were lack of patient compliance, family lifestyle, and the poor dietary practices and sedentary behaviors common in America. The most commonly cited school-based barriers were that children have little control over the groceries purchased and foods cooked at home and the lack of parent presence during appointments.
