Experiences with Body Size Measurement in Health and Physical Education Classes

Summary

We are looking for people who have had their body sizes measured in school (e.g., weight, waist measurements, body mass index). Participants will meet to share their experiences with being measured in a health or physical education class. We aim to explore how body measurement affects students' body images, as well as their ideas about health and weight.
