303 Providers Assessment of Nutritional Practices for the Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy Population
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 April 2022
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Nutrition plays an imperative role in the management of Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy, but guidelines for nutrition counseling are absent. This study was designed to gain insight into provider experiences with nutritional services to find solutions for future counseling. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In this prospective, observational exploratory study, semi structured interviews were conducted at Certified Duchenne Care Centers (CDCCs) to gain insight on providers experiences with nutritional services and to identify barriers and solutions to nutrition education/care/counseling at CDCCs. Interviews were video recorded and then transcribed for themes. Overarching themes gave insight for a quantitative survey to be sent out, assessing all members on the multidisciplinary team perceptions, confidence, barriers, and solutions to providing nutritional care to Duchenne and Becker patients. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We anticipate this study will provide novel data and key information from providers regarding nutrition education /care/counseling efforts in the multidisciplinary care of neuromuscular diseases. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Results will demonstrate the need for higher standards and more specific recommendations in nutritional services at CDCCs, while providing a framework for referrals, continuing education opportunities, and increasing providers’ confidence and abilities to provide sound nutritional advice.
