Summary

This study tests whether a 4-week program addressing weight stigma and self-blame can help teens (ages 13-17) better manage their weight. Participants are randomly assigned to either the stigma-focused program or a general health education session, followed by a 16-week weight management program. Researchers will measure changes in self-stigma, stress hormones, inflammation, and eating behaviors over 20 weeks.
