Study Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial to test the effects on WBI of a novel psychological intervention combined with standard behavioral weight loss (BWL) treatment, as compared to BWL alone. Participants will be a total of 72 men and women seeking weight loss, ages 18-65 years, with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or above, a history of experiencing weight bias, and elevated levels of WBI. Participants will attend a screening visit in which they will complete a behavioral evaluation with a psychologist and a medical history that will be reviewed by a nurse practitioner or physician. Questionnaires assessing experiences and internalization of weight bias, with confirmation by interviewer assessment during the behavioral evaluation, will be used to determine whether participants meet criteria for having high levels of WBI. Eligible consenting participants will be randomly assigned to the standard BWL intervention (n = 36) or the BWL + BIAS program (n = 36). All participants will attend weekly, 90-minute group meetings for 12 weeks (12 visits). In the BWL + stigma intervention, 60 minutes will be devoted to BWL and 30 minutes to weight stigma. In the standard BWL treatment group, the additional 30 minutes will be devoted to sharing recipes and food preparation tips. Following 12 weeks of weight loss treatment, participants will attend group meetings focused on weight loss maintenance, every-other-week from weeks 13-16 (2 visits), and monthly from weeks 17-26 (2 visits). Maintenance sessions in the BWL + stigma group will continue to incorporate discussion of WBI. Assessments - which include questionnaires and measurements of body weight - will occur at baseline and weeks 12 and 26. Weight will be measured at every group meeting for clinical purposes.
