Abstract
A program for helping adolescent students manage their weight was implemented within a school-based health center to promote evidence-based practice and identify barriers to successful weight management. Voluntary student participation included 6 visits with an advanced practice registered nurse. Body mass index screenings (n = 702) and system variables for case-managed students (n = 41) were examined to identify treatment gaps. Despite a high number of eligible students (n = 250), a low percentage of students (16%) enrolled in case management services. Building effective and sustainable approaches for weight loss in this population requires adequate staffing and community resources.
