Weight stigma and weight bias internalization (WBI) are common among adolescents at higher weight statuses. WBI is associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes. The current study aims to test intervention for weight stigma and WBI in conjunction with an evidence-based adolescent weight management program. Adolescents (ages 13-17) will participate in a 20-week program tailored to improve WBI and weight-related health behaviors in tandem. Primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the developed intervention, assessed following the 20-week intervention.
