Fab presentation by @jackmbirch on the inequalities of behavioral weight interventions. These interventions are more effective in men, and most interventions are not specifically designed to support minority ethnic groups. #SSM2023

@EmmaRLawlor @MRC_Epid @Cambridge_Uni @CedarUK @UofGlasgow We’ll miss you @EmmaRLawlor but we’re excited to see what you do next! 🤩🍀

If you want to find out more about what we’ve been up to during the pandemic, visit @RebeccaAntonie in the #eco2022 @EASOobesity poster hall this evening to talk about her work on mental health in weight management.

[Amy Ahern @amy_ahern]

If you are at #ECO2022 and are interested in #mentalhealth you should find time to talk to @RebeccaAntonie. If you missed her presentation yesterday, you have two more opportunities to catch her: the poster session this evening (p04.06) and the best thesis presentations tomorrow.

[MRC-Epid Prevention @MRCEpiPrevent]

We’ve been very quiet on Twitter lately, but perhaps #ECO2022 is the time to start tweeting again. @EASOobesity Come see what we have been up by visiting our team members at the poster session! First up is @jackmbirch talking about inequalities in weight management

[Amy Ahern @amy_ahern]

If you are at #ECO2022 today, make sure you visit the poster hall this evening to talk to @jackmbirch from @MRC_Epid @MRCEpiPrevent about his research into inequalities in behavioural weight management interventions. He’ll be in the far corner, poster 02.02.
