Scientific title	Tailored implementation of guidelines for obesity barriers study: a randomised controlled trial
Study hypothesis	The aim of our study is to improve the quality of obesity care delivered by health professionals and teams. Traditional interventions such as educational sessions related to the NICE guidelines on obesity have only limited effectiveness. We plan to develop valid, feasible and efficient methods of tailoring implementation to the treatment of obesity. Tailoring involves designing an intervention to overcome the specific limiting factors or barriers experienced by a particular group of health care professionals to providing improved health care, which in this case is care in accordance with the NICE guidelines. However, methods for identifying the most important barriers health professionals face in delivering appropriate care are not well developed. Therefore, we need to evaluate and test different methods for identifying barriers and enablers for improving obesity care. A wide range of methods can be used to identify barriers and enablers. The methods we plan to use are: 1. Brainstorming with health professionals (two sessions with between 610 participants) 2. Focus groups with health professionals (two sessions with between 610 participants 3. Interviews of health professionals (a minimum of 8 professionals) 4. Interviews with patients (a minimum of 8 patients) 5. Questionnaire based on a checklist These methods will be used in head to head comparisons for each chronic condition (in England, primary care management of obesity) in order to evaluate which methods are most appropriate to use, and to which contexts and settings they are most applicable. The comparisons will to some extent be designed as diagnostic studies, the methods being compared on the extent to which they identify all the barriers and enablers. The analysis will compare methods in terms of process (the time, resources and expertise required), and outcomes (the range and completeness of barriers and enablers identified.
