The NJ Pediatric Council on Research and Education (NJ PCORE) implemented an Obesity Prevention program in 2008. Jointly funded by the NJ Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Family Health Services and Children’s Futures, the program provides office based obesity prevention and care management training to eleven pediatric/family practitioners in the Trenton metropolitan area. Utilizing the EPIC (Educating Practices In their Communities) model, two training sessions will be conducted for all office staff at each practice site. The Obesity Prevention curriculum  introduces age appropriate anticipatory guidance and messages, in an effort to establish sound nutrition and activity advice within the context of the medical home. Partnerships with community based organizations and state and local agencies will be created so that the office staff are empowered to initiate sustainable office based change for their patients and families. Each office will receive bilingual educational materials to use when interfacing with patients and their families. Chart reviews and pre and post training surveys will be conducted to evaluate the program outcomes.
