Awareness of and Attitudes Toward Anti-Weight Stigma Movements

Social Sciences

Abstract

A survey of adults (n = 706) found low levels of awareness of two social movements aimed at decreasing weight stigma: the Fat Acceptance Movement and Health at Every Size movement. For HAES, providing a brief story of an overweight person who endorses HAES improved perceptions of the movement.
