Weight-based discrimination (WBD) is common and associated with reduced physical and emotional functioning. WBD is common in the workplace, yet no studies have evaluated a WBD intervention delivered in a worksite setting. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a 3-hour, remote-delivered WBD intervention at a large public university. Six workshops including 94 participants (41.76 ± 9.37 y; 92.8% women) were delivered December 2020 through May 2021; 88.3% of participants enrolled in the study and 88.8% of enrolled participants completed pre- and post-intervention surveys. Participants strongly agreed the workshop contributed to a more inclusive work environment (=4.98 ± 0.2; 1 =Strongly Disagree to 5 =Strongly Agree); and was highly needed (4.9 ± 0.3) and liked (4.8 ± 0.5). Qualitative feedback cited benefits of remote delivery in providing body size anonymity and wanting access to intervention materials and more time for discussion and action steps to reduce WBD. Participants experienced significant, medium reductions in explicit weight bias (s < .001), significant, small reductions in weight bias internalization ( < .001), and statistically non-significant ( = .08), small-to-medium reductions in implicit bias. Targeting worksites as a delivery mechanism has the potential to reduce WBD, thereby improving the health and well-being of diverse employees and creating a more inclusive workspace.

对减少体重耻辱和体重偏见内化的简短工作现场干预的初步评估

基于体重的歧视（WBD）很常见，并且与身体和情感功能下降有关。 WBD 在工作场所很常见，但没有研究评估在工作场所环境中实施的 WBD 干预措施。本研究评估了一所大型公立大学进行 3 小时远程 WBD 干预的可行性、可接受性和初步有效性。 2020 年 12 月至 2021 年 5 月举办了六次研讨会，共有 94 名参与者（41.76 ± 9.37 岁；92.8% 为女性）； 88.3% 的参与者参与了这项研究，88.8% 的参与者完成了干预前和干预后的调查。参与者强烈同意研讨会有助于打造更具包容性的工作环境（=4.98 ± 0.2；1 = 强烈不同意，5 = 强烈同意）；非常需要 (4.9 ± 0.3) 和喜欢 (4.8 ± 0.5)。定性反馈提到了远程交付的好处，即提供身体尺寸匿名性、希望获得干预材料以及更多时间进行讨论和采取行动步骤以减少 WBD。参与者的显性体重偏差显着、中度降低 (s < .001)，体重偏差内化显着、小幅降低 (< .001)，隐性体重偏差在统计上不显着 (= .08)、小到中度降低。偏见。将工作场所作为一种交付机制有可能减少 WBD，从而改善多元化员工的健康和福祉，并创造更具包容性的工作空间。
