"Implementation and Validation of the 5As Framework of Obesity Management in Primary Care. 5AsT"

The intervention group will participate in an additional 6 month intensive learning collaborative model designed around the 5As of obesity management, but which addresses areas identified as barriers (i.e. weight bias, clinical environment, clinic processes \& team based care, mental health, counseling around emotional eating, caregiver fatigue, designing appropriate patient follow-up, and additional topics identified by the professionals). A clinical Champion identified by our partner SSPCN will be available to provide 1:1 support and coaching of the practitioners \& teams as needed. The practitioners will work collaboratively to do their own needs assessment, and will identify additional resources or tools that they need to overcome the barriers to weight management in their setting. The research team will use a Practice Facilitation model to provide additional resource and support to the change process for the practitioners.
