1. One assignment will be turned in per partner group.
For this assignment, you will need to find published clinical guidelines pertaining to the your group chose. What are clinical guidelines, you may ask? They are recommendations (i.e., advice) to clinicians (not patients) about how to reduce health risks or promote health. Published guidelines are based on research. There are several health and medical organizations that publish clinical guidelines. Some of these organizations include the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Evidence Analysis Library), American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, USDA and CDC, American Diabetes Association, National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, etc. For this assignment you will find at least two sets of guidelines published by a major health organization and then write a 2-page paper (no minimum page limit; points will be deducted for going even one line over the 2nd page).
The paper should:
1) describe the similarities and differences between the guidelines,
2) describe the process each organization used to develop the guidelines (i.e., how were the guidelines derived), and
3) discuss the implications of these guidelines for your case study?
Include full text copies of the clinical recommendations you review for this assignment. HUGE HINT: Most groups lose points for failing to discuss the process by which the guidelines were developed.
THIS IS THE CASE STUDY
You are the clinical nutrition manager of a group of corporate wellness dietitians within a major oil company in Houston. A recent health survey conducted by the Human Resources Department revealed that 70% of the employees are overweight or obese based on BMI. The company HR manager has asked you to begin running a weight loss class on Monday evenings for all employees, and she wants you to consider that your dietitians recommend intuitive eating as a weight loss approachin the class. She heard some good things about intuitive eating on a news program on television. The goal of the weight loss class is to help employees with BMI over 30 reduce their weight by at least 10%. The HR manager informed you that management will fund the weight loss class for one year. At the end of the year, they will make a determination as to whether to continue funding the program based on whether the program met the primary weight loss goal, which is to help employees reduce their weight by at least 10%. You know you have seen research that shows that intuitive eating is a healthy eating behavior for body image and mental health, but you are not sure it has been shown to effectively reduce weight status. As the clinical nutrition manager your job is to outline policies and procedures for running the program. As a licensed and registered dietitian, you understand your job is to implement evidence-based practices, but you are uncertain as to whether intuitive eating may be considered an evidence based approach to weight loss. To determine whether intuitive eating is an evidence based approach for weight loss engage in each of the below steps that correspond with each assignment for this class.
1. First, identify published guidelines for healthy adult weight loss. Is intuitive eating part of current evidence based guidelines for weight loss? (Published Guideline Assignment)
