Summary

This study tests whether adding a 4-week program on weight stigma and self-blame to a standard 16-week weight management program helps teens ages 13-17. About 64 teens will be randomly assigned to either the stigma-focused group or a general health education group. Researchers will measure changes in self-stigma, stress hormones, inflammation markers, and eating behaviors.
