简要总结
Eight U.S. medical schools will be participating in the study: Weight Management Counseling in Medical Schools, also known as MSWEIGHT. This is a five-year randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to compare the efficacy of two approaches to learning weight management counseling: 1)traditional education (TE) and; 2) multi-modal educational intervention (MME).
The study aims are to refine and compare the efficacy of MME to TE on observed student weight management counseling skills measured through the primary outcome, the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).
详细描述
Eight U.S. medical schools are matched and then randomized to one of two educational interventions, MME or TE.
Schools randomized to TE represent "usual care" and will continue the current curriculum. The MME arm will build upon the traditional usual curriculum at the medical school. The MME is a multi-modal educational intervention of a series of interactive learning components focused on integrated weight management counseling. This MME intervention for weight management counseling uses the 5As model based on the updated American Heart Association (AHA) /American College of Cardiology (ACC) /The Obesity Society (TOS) and updated NHLBI guidelines.

结局指标
主要结局
Mean Score on Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE); MME and TE students will be compared regarding the mean score.
时间窗: Up to 2 years
The primary outcome is the OSCE, the standard method for evaluating medical students' skill level at U.S. medical schools. The investigators will compare the efficacy of MME to TE on weight management counseling skills assessed among two separate 3rd year student classes (pre and post MSWeight implementation). MME and TE students will be compared regarding the mean score.
次要结局
- Mean self-efficacy score on 5As will be calculated as the mean of student's self-reported skill level (1=not at all skilled through 4=very skilled) on 7 items regarding patient counseling skills.(Up to Three Years)
- Percentage of students reporting 3 = moderately skilled or 4 = very skilled will be calculated on 7 items regarding patient counseling skills.(Upto Three Years)
