The FNPA has utility for use in schools, clinical guidance and for individual evaluation of the home environment. Current collaborations include evaluations of the counseling and clinic applications of the FNPA at large pediatric health systems in Iowa and Pennsylvania.
We envision the website as a way to spur on other collaborations and applications related to the FNPA tool. Please visit the other links and we will build this up over time. Thanks.
Iowa State University FNPA Research Team
- Our research team has recently completed a 2 year NIH-funded research project to evaluate the utility of incorporating the FNPA as part of school-based BMI Screening. Results are still being finalized but our team recently presented some work at the 2013 Obesity Society Meeting.
- A colleague at Geisinger Health Systems (Lisa Bailey Davis) has incorporated the FNPA directly into a parent portal to allow it to be incorporated into the EPIC-based electronic medical record to facilitate physician counseling.
- A colleague at Blank Children's Hospital (Julia Richards-Krapfl) has worked with our team to use the FNPA to facilitate weight loss counseling for parents of overweight children in their clinic.
