An Advanced Trainee in Public Health Medicine and PhD candidate with the School of Public Health and Preventative Medicine at Monash University would like to hear from GPs for her latest study in childhood obesity.
The study ‘promoting healthy childhood growth and development and preventing childhood obesity in general practice: a qualitative study’ seeks to understand current attitudes and practices regarding the promotion of healthy childhood growth and development and the prevention of childhood obesity for children of a healthy weight in Australian general practices. It also aims to identify practical barriers and enablers to routinely incorporating this into a general practitioner’s clinical practice, based on the observations and personal experiences of general practice staff.
The researcher is seeking general practitioners, general practice nurses and general practice managers who are willing to participate in an interview with an approximate duration of 30 – 45 minutes.
This study has been approved by the Monash University Human Research Ethics Committee (project ID 30016) and is supported by a National Health and Medical Research Council postgraduate scholarship. The chief investigator for this study is Professor Helen Skouteris.
