EASO promotes person-first language and non-stigmatising images in all obesity-related written and verbal communications. EASO actively works to reduce weight bias and weight-based discrimination, urging researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, media professionals and others to use inclusive language, communications, and practices.
This short guide, developed with colleague Dr Ximena Ramos Salas, aims to support the development of non-stigmatising research, project outputs and other communications.
