Dissertation
The Impact of Weight Perception Accuracy upon Clinical Outcomes in a Multiracial Pediatric Patient Population
2019
Overview
This research presents the first validation of a multiracial, gender-neutral body figure scale [BFS] to measure body figure awareness [BFA] within a pediatric sample with obesity, racial/ethnic diversity and a wide age range from 9 to 18 years. The present results suggest that the modified Collins BFS [mCBFS] is a valid self-report tool as compared to the original Collins BFS (τ = .83, p < 0.001) and has good construct validity (%FAT: τ = 0.39, p < 0.001 and BMI-for-age percentiles: τ = 0.52, p < 0.001). This research was also the first to examine BFA alongside a measure of WPA. The majority of the sample were found to have misperceived both their weight and body figure. These observations were more apparent when examined by sex and race/ethnicity. Outcomes of this research provide a framework for more constructive conversations about weight using a validated assessment of WPA and the novel body figure scale [mCBFS] to measure BFA in both the primary care and specialty care settings.
