Peer Reviewed: Computer-Administered Screening of Reproductive-Aged Women for Diabetes Risk in Primary Care Settings Feasibility and Acceptability of Such Screening and Validity of Risk Assessments Based on Self-reported Weight

摘要

IntroductionObesity, a major public health problem, is the key modifiable component of diabetes risk. Addressing obesity and diabetes risk during primary care visits is recommended but, because of time constraints, is often difficult for health care providers to do. The purpose of this study was to determine whether technology can streamline risk assessment and leave more time to educate patients. We also tested the validity of self-reported weight in assessing diabetes risk.
