Involving students in leadership roles, restorative justice programs, and inclusivity-focused programs are promising strategies to boost school engagement. Evidence is less clear for the impact of socio-emotional learning, behavioural and mental health-focused interventions: this is likely to change as more evidence becomes available.

Expanded gender equality, social welfare and security, economic, and migration policies may have a positive impact on mental health and well-being, however the evidence base for population-level interventions addressing the social determinants of mental health is small and of overall low certainty.

Experiencing weight stigma in healthcare may lead to shame, lower self-esteem, depression, anxiety and reduced quality of care. It may also influence the link between larger body size and negative physiological and psychological outcomes and poor quality of life.

Research shows that a larger body size may be associated with some negative health outcomes; however, this is not universal across populations, health outcomes or measures of body size.
