My main takeaway reflection from the conference - as researchers, to what extent should we be acting as advocates (or even activists?) for 1) what our research finds and 2) the policy implications of that research?

❗ For sex, we found that the interventions had a greater effect in men than women – however, this was likely driven by men in the control groups (i.e., no or minimal intervention) actually gaining weight, whereas women in these groups would still lose some weight.

❗ These interventions were more effective in those of a white ethnicity than those from ethnic minority backgrounds. This highlights more needs to be done to equitable support those from ethnic minority groups, a pattern we see all too often in health and healthcare.
