Summary

This study tested a 20-week program for teens aged 13-17 who struggle with weight stigma and internalizing negative weight beliefs. The program combined support for weight bias with a standard weight management program. The main goal was to see if teens found the program acceptable and feasible, not to measure weight loss directly.
