| Core Tip |
Clinicians play an integral role in diagnosing and managing childhood obesity. This study examined how the theory of planned behavior (TPB) predicted academic clinicians’ intent to treat pediatric obesity. Demographic variables and TPB subscales predicted 56.9% of the variance in intent scores amongst health professionals to treat pediatric obesity. One’s practice context (subjective norms) and confidence in one’s ability to manage pediatric obesity (perceived behavioral control) were the most significant predictors of intent. Attitudes and barriers did not predict intent. The TPB can be applied to strengthen clinical training programs targeted towards management of obesity in children. |
