title: [Health promotion and nutrition counseling for obese patients--a responsibility of medical care].
abstract: For prevention and therapy of overweight the joined effort of physicians and nutritional consultants is suggested to be the most effective approach. To develop a model of cooperation, the present situation of communication has been analyzed by questioning 57 overweight volunteers (by questionnaire), 34 physicians (both by questionnaire and interview), and 4 nutritional consultants (by interview). The physicians and the nutritional consultants feel the lack of communication and they express the wish to improve the cooperation. There is also a need for organizing structures of such collaboration, e.g. nutritional consultation either as part of the medical practice or as a special practice where the patient is to be referred to.
