Webinar: Communication About Body Weight: Implications For Health Communication And Media
Monday, October 17th, 2022
12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Storrs Campus Webex
Presenter: Rebecca Puhl, PhD
In this webinar, Dr. Puhl will summarize her research examining weight stigma in public health communication and the media, highlighting the impact of both visual images and language used to depict people with higher weight. In addition to demonstrating how stigmatizing communication negatively affects public attitudes and health behaviors, her work has identified youth and adult preferences for non-stigmatizing terminology in communication about body weight. Recent initiatives and strategies for reducing weight stigma in health communication will be discussed.
