Most patients (51%) considered OB\/GYNs to be the coordinator of their PCOS care. For ongoing management of patients with PCOS and obesity, OB\/GYNs reported prescribing general improvements in lifestyle (91%), oral contraceptives (91%), metformin (85%), letrozole (74%), spironolactone (71%), specific diets (60%), medroxyprogesterone (45%), and anti-obesity medications (27%). OB\/GYNs were significantly more likely than other HCPs surveyed to strongly agree with the statement that they do not know enough about anti-obesity medications to feel comfortable prescribing them to their patients with PCOS and obesity (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Most OB\/GYNs believed that consultation with a dietitian\/nutritionist (75%) or access to a physician who specializes in obesity (67%) were the most beneficial types of support for their patients with PCOS and obesity.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>OB\/GYNs recognize the importance of obesity management for the treatment of PCOS; however, utilization of effective obesity tools to treat these patients is low.
