ADA 25 -  PATHWEIGH roadmap for implementing weight management into primary care eliminated a population weight gain trajectory.

Dr Leigh Perreault (University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, US) joins us remotely to discuss the PATHWEIGH trial, which investigated a process of care to facilitate and prioritize weight management in a primary care setting. PATHWEIGH focused on reducing excess body weight and weight-related medical complications, and enrolled over 270,000 patients across 56 primary care clinics.

Interview Questions:

1. What is the importance of this study?
2. Could you tell us about the PATHWEIGH process and how this works?
3. Could you tell us about the study design and the patient population?
4. What was the primary outcome?
5. How can these findings inform prevention strategies in diabetes care?
6. Where are the knowledge gaps, and what are the next steps?
