Machine Learning-Augmented Propensity Score-Adjusted Multilevel Mixed Effects Panel Analysis of Hands-On Cooking and Nutrition Education versus Traditional Curriculum for Medical Students as Preventive Cardiology: Multisite Cohort Study of 3,248 Trainees over 5 Years.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) annually claims more lives and costs more dollars than any other disease globally amid widening health disparities, despite the known significant reductions in this burden by low cost dietary changes. The world's first medical school-based teaching kitchen therefore launched CHOP-Medical Students as the largest known multisite cohort study of hands-on cooking and nutrition education versus traditional curriculum for medical students.

Methods: This analysis provides a novel integration of artificial intelligence-based machine learning (ML) with causal inference statistics.

Current practices of obesity pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery referral and coding for counselling by healthcare professionals.

Introduction: Rates of obesity pharmacotherapy use, bariatric surgery and intensive behavioural counselling have been extremely low.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to survey healthcare provider beliefs, practice and knowledge regarding obesity management.

Methods: Primary care physicians (PCPs), OB-GYN physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs) responded to a web-based survey related to drug therapy practice, bariatric surgery referral and reimbursement coding practice.

Current attitudes and practices of obesity counselling by health care providers.

Introduction: Relatively few patients receive obesity counselling consistent with the USPSTF guidelines, and many health care professionals (HCPs) are biased in their attitudes towards obesity management.

Methods: A national sample of family physicians, internists, OB/GYN physicians, and nurse practitioners (NPs) completed a web-based survey of beliefs, practice, and knowledge regarding obesity management.

Results: A majority of HCPs believe that it is both the patient's and the provider's responsibility to ensure that the patient is counselled about obesity.
