Abstract

Purpose of review: The primary goals of this pre-registered systematic review were to critically evaluate the existing randomized controlled trials targeting weight stigma/bias and identify promising avenues for future research.

Recent findings: Prior systematic reviews have highlighted intervention strategies such as shifting causal attributions of obesity, evoking empathy, deploying weight-inclusive approaches, increasing education, and combining these strategies. Here, we provide an updated systematic review of weight stigma interventions. A systematic search was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines and performed in PubMed/Medline, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar until October 2024, yielding a final sample of 56 articles. In addition to previously established strategies, we identified several novel strategies, such as cognitive dissonance and connection building. Interventions can largely shift attitudinal outcomes, but future research should extend beyond attitude measures, assess weight bias over a longer term, and across more diverse populations.

评估体重病耻感干预：随机对照试验的系统回顾。

综述目的：本预注册系统综述的主要目的是批判性地评估现有针对体重病耻感/偏见的随机对照试验，并为未来的研究确定有希望的途径。最近的发现：先前的系统综述强调了干预策略，如改变肥胖的因果归因，唤起同理心，采用体重包容方法，增加教育，并将这些策略结合起来。在这里，我们提供了体重病耻感干预的最新系统综述。按照PRISMA指南进行系统检索，并在PubMed/Medline、PubMed、PsycINFO和谷歌Scholar中进行检索，直到2024年10月，最终样本为56篇文章。除了先前建立的策略外，我们还确定了一些新的策略，如认知失调和连接建立。干预措施可以在很大程度上改变态度结果，但未来的研究应该超越态度测量，在更长期和更多样化的人群中评估体重偏差。
