Study Summary
Weight stigma and weight bias internalization (WBI) are common among adolescents at higher weight statuses. WBI is associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes. The current study aims to test an intervention for weight stigma and WBI combined with an evidence-based adolescent weight management program. Eligible adolescents (13-17) will be assigned by chance to one of two groups: 1) a 4-week intervention focused on weight stigma and WBI followed by a 16-week behavioral weight management program; or 2) a 4-week health information control (to include non-weight-related health promotion topics such as smoking and skin cancer prevention) followed by the same 16-week weight management program but without the WBI and weight stigma content. Study outcomes will be assessed at the 4-week and post-treatment (20 week) timepoints.
Primary Outcome
The validated Modified Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS-M) assesses the degree to which people apply negative weight-based stereotypes to themselves and judge themselves negatively due to their weight. Total scores range from 1 to 77, with higher scores indicating a greater degree of WBI.
