Potential reactions after feeling stigmatized by a doctor. Percentages represent 'likely' and 'very likely' for the question 'If your doctor referred to your weight in a way that makes you feel stigmatized, how would you react?'.

Original response scales ranged from 1 ('unlikely') to 5 ('very likely').
