Education strategies to facilitate lifestyle medicine practice within health systems: a multiple case study of US health systems.
Article in Translational behavioral medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLifestyle medicine (LM) is an evidence-based field of medicine that is effective in treating and preventing leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Despite demonstrated impact, few physicians and other healthcare professionals regularly implement LM. Continuing education may be an effective avenue for improving practitioner knowledge, confidence, and practice of LM, but there is a gap in the understanding of how educational content and strategies can be utilized to effectively increase LM adoption. The purpose of this study is to identify educational strategies that facilitate the implementation of LM in health systems (HS).
methodsEight US HSs participated in this multiple case study. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews (n = 68 total; 6-8 within each HS) with HS employees leading and delivering LM programs. Interviews included questions about LM implementation and educational strategies. Transcripts were analyzed following the framework analysis approach. Strength of endorsement was assessed through quantitative and qualitative analysis.
resultsFour topic areas were identified as critical content for effective continuing education in LM. The need for further education in behavior change counseling received the strongest endorsement. Other topics included LM definition and evidence, referral opportunities, and business development skills. Ten types of continuing educational strategies were identified that facilitate LM. There was the strongest endorsement for pilot programs, employee wellness, and interpersonal educational activities, including peer-learning, communities-of-practice, and supervisor-learning/mentorship.
conclusionContinuing education can facilitate LM implementation in HSs. Educational strategies should emphasize training that builds skills in behavior change counseling, leverages employee wellness pilot programs, and nurtures interpersonal learning.
