Health care provider views on the magnitude of overweight/obesity in spinal cord injury and awareness of evidence‐based guidance for weight management

Abstract

Literature shows that large proportions of people with a spinal cord injury (SCI) continue to experience challenges and limitations in weight management (WM) efforts in the health care setting. Despite the need, evidence‐based research on effective and practical WM practices for persons with SCI is inconsistent and not widely used by health care providers (HCPs).
