@MichelleCardel Hi @MichelleCardel, very happy to see this clarification! I appreciate the acknowledgment of harm and specific examples of self-reported outcomes and qualitative findings that would fit the journal's scope and direction moving forward.

[Erin Standen, Ph.D. @standen_erin]

Have people seen this new letter to the editor in Obesity? In the response, the Editor-in-Chief claims that studies with self-reported outcomes (e.g., lived experiences of weight stigma) are "strictly speaking, not science" ... it's completely unacceptable

Our new paper about how people react to healthcare providers' weight advice is available from @socscimed! In short - we found that it varies; some people leave feeling motivated, others feel bad/guilty about themselves, & some feel both ways (1/n)

Further research is needed to promote widespread implementation of stigma-sensitive and/or weight-inclusive care approaches; we hope this preliminary evidence can support more work in this space. (3/n)

[Erin Standen, Ph.D. @standen_erin]

@socscimed Reaction type was significantly associated with participant characteristics (e.g., age, sex) and aspects of the advice received (e.g., if the participant had requested it or not; if the provider primarily focused on weight loss or health behaviors) (2/n)

@bri_richson Thanks so much, @bri_richson! I would love to chat more about this idea - are there particular ED measures that you think would be crucial to include in future studies? I have thought a bit about measuring unhealthy weight control behaviors, but not sure where to start!
