Weight bias among Turkish dietitians: Does the weight status of the patients change the dietary approaches or not?

Description

This study aimed to determine whether the level of weight bias affects the dietary approaches of the dietitians. Two virtual hypothetical cases of obese and normal-weight vignettes with two identical photos were created to be evaluated, and Fat Phobia Scale (FPS) assessed the explicit weight bias among Turkish dietitians via an online questionnaire. Dietitians evaluated the vignettes based on the data provided, and they expressed their recommendations and perceptions.
