Summary: Background: Recent pediatric guidelines recommend clinicians offer anti‐obesity medication (AOM) as an adjunct to intensive lifestyle intervention. Objective: To investigate pediatricians' perspectives about prescribing AOM, including barriers and facilitators. Methods: An investigator‐developed survey was emailed to primary care pediatric physicians (n = 187) and advanced practice providers (n = 190) within an academic‐affiliated network. The survey evaluated how willing clinicians were to prescribe AOM and their agreement with 25 statements about barriers and facilitators. Three vignettes explored AOM decision‐making. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine relative risk ratios for willingness to prescribe by agreement with each statement. Results: Among 74 respondents (20% response rate), 24% were willing, 42% uncertain and 34% unwilling to prescribe. Most (64%) agreed that AOM should be managed only by specialists. Willingness to prescribe was associated with clinician motivation and belief in guideline practicality and applicability. Unwillingness was associated with beliefs that patients would not continue AOM long enough for benefit and that there was insufficient time or resources to implement. In vignettes, 52% were willing to prescribe AOM for a patient with severe obesity and metabolic complications, versus 11% for a patient with obesity and possible disordered eating. Conclusions: Willingness to prescribe AOM was low and was associated with perceived practicality and appropriateness for patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
