Weighty Conversations: Obesity and Reproduction, Weight Bias, and Techniques of Motivational Interviewing

October 6, 2017 @ 12:00 pm EDT - 1:00 pm EDT

  • « Cultural Safety and Indigenous Health: Culture, Community & Caring
  • Free-Standing Birth Centers: A Place for Woman-Centered Care »

Today’s Theme: Collaborating for Woman-Centered Care

Although nearly 50% of reproductive-age women are overweight or obese, providers remain uncertain how to approach conversations about weight. The techniques of motivational interviewing (MI) are an effective way to discuss behavior change and weight loss. This session will review the current research on obesity and reproduction, discuss how basic MI techniques can be incorporated into routine clinical care, and increase provider awareness of societal weight bias.

The session video will be available on this page at the scheduled date and time.
