Study Summary
Obesity is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. The treatment of obesity and its related health issues, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, exceeds $150 billion annually. "Morbidly" or "severely" obese patients - defined by a body mass index \[BMI\] of \>35 kg/m2 or greater - are especially high risk for serious complications due to their weight. Within the Veterans Health Administration (VA) system, nearly 600,000 patients are severely obese. These Veterans create significant costs for the VA system, experience poorer quality of life, and have shortened lifespans. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity for weight loss, resolving weight-related health issues, and quality of life. Bariatric surgery is supported as a treatment option by many national societies, including those representing primary care and endocrinology. However, less than 1% of Veterans who qualify for bariatric surgery undergo it. Reasons for low utilization are unclear, although the investigators' preliminary research suggests that there are various patient, provider and system level barriers to severe obesity care. The goal of this study is to pilot-test an educational video that aligns patient preferences with treatment options to improve the care that severely obese Veterans receive.
