By 2035, over four billion people are projected to live with overweight or obesity, many of whom will seek care from healthcare professionals. However, weight bias among future providers may impact care quality. This thesis explored weight bias among Australian healthcare students and evaluated an intervention aimed at its reduction. Findings suggest that current efforts may be insufficient, highlighting the need for long-term educational and policy reforms to effectively address weight bias among healthcare students. | en_US |
