AbstractPhysicians should counsel overweight adolescents about nutrition and exercise. We audio recorded 30 physician-adolescent encounters.

When physicians used MI skills, patients increased exercise, lost weight, and reduced screen time. Physicians should use MI techniques to help adolescents change.
