Weight Bias: A Systematic Review of Characteristics and Psychometric Properties of Self-Report Questionnaires.

Our paper is the first to comprehensively evaluate the psychometric properties, use of people-first language within items, and suitability for use with various populations of available self-report measures of weight bias.
