RESUMEN

Introduction: Many children and adolescents with obesity experience weight stigma and bias, which can have detrimental mental health, medical, and social consequences. Weight stigma in the healthcare setting threatens the therapeutic relationship between health care providers and their pediatric patients and families. Methods: Data supporting this guidance were derived from cited references. Results: Based upon referenced citations, this review offers 7 best practices for pediatric providers to work to reduce weight stigma including: assess for personal weight bias, improve communication, provide a welcoming clinic environment, seek out additional training and informative experiences, evaluate the messaging and culture of the organization, screen for trauma and bullying, and enlist the help of board-certified obesity medicine specialists. Conclusions: Providers have an important role in mitigating the harmful effects of weight stigma. It is our hope these recommendations, as well as the other resources provided, will help providers to begin to address their own individual weight biases, as well as the institutional weight biases where we care for patients.
