Fab presentation by @jackmbirch on the inequalities of behavioral weight interventions. These interventions are more effective in men, and most interventions are not specifically designed to support minority ethnic groups. #SSM2023

If you want to find out more about what we’ve been up to during the pandemic, visit @RebeccaAntonie in the #eco2022 @EASOobesity poster hall this evening to talk about her work on mental health in weight management.
If you are at #ECO2022 and are interested in #mentalhealth you should find time to talk to @RebeccaAntonie. If you missed her presentation yesterday, you have two more opportunities to catch her: the poster session this evening (p04.06) and the best thesis presentations tomorrow.

If you are at #ECO2022 today, make sure you visit the poster hall this evening to talk to @jackmbirch from @MRC_Epid @MRCEpiPrevent about his research into inequalities in behavioural weight management interventions. He’ll be in the far corner, poster 02.02.
