Title
Addressing the Effects of Weight Stigma in the Medical System Using Weight-neutral Approaches to Patient Care
Description
Weight stigma is present in many aspects of society, and especially in medicine. Weight stigma has detrimental effects on individuals physical and mental health, as well as patient-physician interactions. Application of weight-neutral healthcare ideologies such as Health at Every Size (HAES) are promising ways of decreasing weight stigma within the medical field without reducing the focus on improving patient health. Most widely applicable interventions include changing the focus of interactions from weight to health-promoting behaviors and lab values, improving provider education, and improving the general population's awareness of the problem.
