Objective: GPs have a complex role in obesity management due to patients' individualized experience of living with obesity, coupled with the challenge to deliver healthcare messages in non-stigmatizing ways. This study aimed to explore who initiates the topic of weight and how weight was discussed in real-world GP-patient consultations.
Method: A multi-disciplinary team, including obesity lived experience experts, undertook a secondary data analysis of 43 Australian video recorded consultations and patient surveys from The Digital Library using descriptive content analysis.

The intersection of queer identity and psychedelics has not been thoroughly explored by the research community, historically or in the present day. With growing access to legal psychedelic therapies, it is essential that queer psychedelic experiences are understood sufficiently by clinicians in order to provide the most safe and effective care possible. Psychedelics and queerness are intricately related, and there is strong interest in the use of psychedelics for healing and identity development among queer populations.

Individuals who are higher-weight and low-income may disproportionately experience weight and income stigmas in healthcare experiences compared to lower-weight, higher-income individuals. The ways that weight and income stigmas interact in healthcare should be better understood in order to provide better, less stigmatizing care to higher-weight, low-income patients. This study assesses how patients manage stigmatizing experiences in both healthcare and everyday experiences and how that impacts health seeking and stigma management behaviors through semi-structured interviews with 11 higher-weight (Body Mass Index ≥30), low-income adults (≥18 years of age) in an Atlantic Canadian province.

Background: Sociolinguistic research on workplace mental health stigma is scarce and consequently, there are a lack of relevant conceptual models. Drawing on Goffman's notion of stigma as a 'language of relationships', and Heller's concept of 'discursive space', this paper offers a conceptual model of how stigma is produced and reinforced in workplace settings. Specifically, the model maps the complex discursive processes of mental health stigmatization through workplace discursive practices.
