Understanding Your Weight Flipchart Book With Pads  
 
According to the World Health Organization, over 1 billion people worldwide are overweight, and 300 million of them are clinically obese. Health professional counseling plays a key role in addressing the obesity epidemic. This easy-to-use and flexible tool is designed to help health professionals bring up and discuss the sensitive subject of excess weight with their adult patients.  
 
Developed with a leading expert in the field, this award-winning flipbook systematizes the obesity counseling techniques developed by Dr. Robert Kushner of Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Wellness Center. We have compiled 10 topics in a step-by-step but flexible process to aid counseling with simple visual and textual information facing the patient and educator tips on the side facing the physician/counselor.  
 
The tool was designed to be used throughout the counseling process, so you can use 1 section during a visit or go through the whole book, depending on the needs of your patient and the time you have to spend with them.  
 
One customer says: It works well and the professional information is very useful.
