Summary
This study tests whether a program that helps teens cope with weight stigma can improve their weight management. About 64 teens aged 13-17 with a high BMI will be randomly assigned to either a 4-week stigma-focused group or a general health education group, followed by a 16-week weight management program. Researchers will measure changes in self-stigma, stress hormones, inflammation, and eating behaviors.
