ForwardWeight Bias in Pediatric Obesity

The media’s view and assumptions of obesity drives weight bias in our society and forms the basis for a great deal of stigma our patients face.

Participants will review potential causes for their own weight bias, and discuss the harms of weight bias for pediatric patients We will discuss solutions to combating weight bias and how to help families overcome this barrier to accessing healthcare.
