Participant Flow

All six providers who were recruited through a Duke Health primary care-based research network and were present at a primary care clinic provider meeting in February 2017, were eligible and consented to participate. Patients of the enrolled providers were recruited from May 2017 to August 2017 through an electronic health record database search.

None of the providers were withdrawn from the study. Of the 66 patients initially consented, 6 withdrew prior to learning their randomization assignment; 4 chose to withdraw for no stated reason; one was withdrawn by the study team due to being in treatment; and one was withdrawn by the study team due to canceling their index appointment.

Measure
Mobilization Tool Arm
Participant receives intervention to motivate weight loss treatment initiation and access to weight loss treatment. Motivational Intervention: Participants complete web-based assessment and receive tailored feedback to motivate weight loss treatment initiation and informed that they have access to weight loss treatment.
Comparator Tool Arm
Participant receives access to weight loss treatment alone. Comparator Intervention: Participants informed that they have access to weight loss treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 month

Population: Among mobilization tool participants, 28 patients progressed past the tool's introductory page, and 27 patients completed the tool. The post-tool acceptability survey was completed by 20 participants (72% of those who began the tool).

Ratings on series of items developed by study team to assess patient perception of acceptability of the intervention. Items were created by study team. Possible range of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Higher score reflects greater acceptability except for item 11.
