Participants for this study were…

Hutson, David J. – Teaching Sociology, 2017
While most sociology students are well prepared to think critically about inequalities involving race, gender, social class, and sexuality, the topics of body weight and health present some challenges for classroom discussion. Primarily, this is due to the body's status in contemporary society as simultaneously malleable (able to be changed) and…

Cook-Cottone, Catherine P.; Tribole, Evelyn; Tylka, Tracy L. – APA Books, 2013
Concern over increased childhood obesity has spurred various school-based interventions.
