dc.description.abstractWeight stigma refers to the negative attitudes, beliefs, and stereotypes directed at individuals with higher body weight. In Canada, weight stigma is prevalent across various social contexts, including healthcare, education, and interpersonal relationships. To better understand how Canadians experience weight stigma alongside different marginalized identities, we invited participants who have experienced weight-based prejudice to complete a brief qualitative online survey. Individuals were asked to share their lived experiences and provide one specific example of when they faced weight-based prejudice. The data collected will be analyzed using thematic analysis to identify overarching patterns and themes across the experiences of many individuals.
