鉴于北美肥胖率的上升，大众媒体和科学文献都在强调对与肥胖相关的医疗保健系统成本的担忧。在不断呼吁采取行动的情况下，必须注意不要增加对肥胖者的污名，特别是对儿童的污名。虽然有很多关于耻辱及其如何加剧的文章，但对于试图设计和实施将耻辱降至最低的肥胖预防计划的公共卫生管理者和从业者来说，指导方针很少。我们研究了对肥胖者的污名和这一社会过程的后果，并讨论了污名如何在卫生服务提供中表现出来。我们提出了设计非污名化肥胖预防公共卫生计划的建议。讨论了对实践和政策的影响。
Given the rise in obesity rates in North America, concerns about obesity-related costs to the health care system are being stressed in both the popular media and the scientific literature. With such constant calls to action, care must be taken not to increase stigmatization of obese people, particularly of children. While there is much written about stigma and how it is exacerbated, there are few guidelines for public health managers and practitioners who are attempting to design and implement obesity prevention programs that minimize stigma. We examine stigmatization of obese people and the consequences of this social process, and discuss how stigma is manifest in health service provision. We give suggestions for designing non-stigmatizing obesity prevention public health programs. Implications for practice and policy are discussed.
