Hello fellow MFPs--
I'm conducting a research study for my dissertation and am writing to request your help!

Have you experienced real or perceived stereotyping, rejection, or prejudice based on your weight? If so, I am interested in hearing about how you cope with such experiences, as well as your own personal thoughts and beliefs about weight.

You can participate in this study if:
1. You are 18 years of age or older
2. You live in the United States
3. You identify as slightly overweight, overweight, or extremely overweight

If you meet the above criteria, I invite you to please take 10-15 minutes to complete a brief anonymous online survey you can find here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/J976Y6X

Through your participation, you may enter a raffle to win one of two $50 Visa gift cards by emailing the researcher the code word displayed on the last page of the survey at weightbiasresearch@gmail.com.

I sincerely appreciate your time!

Sincerely,

Jillian D. Burley, M.A.
