Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The dietitians were randomly assigned to an online case study with lactose intolerance, with all patient information identical except for the patient's weight and photograph. In one case there was a photograph of a woman with obesity and in the other a woman of normal weight. The objective of the case study was to evaluate how the body weight of a patient who consulted a dietitian for a reason unrelated to the body weight affected professional practices.
