Participants were randomly assigned to either manipulate their weight through wearing a fat suit prosthesis or to a control condition where they wore the same clothing that was on the fat suit but in their own size. Outcome variables were cortisol reactivity, psychological well-being, and food and drink consumption. Additionally, this study tested whether wearing the fat suit might serve as an effective weight stigma reduction effort.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants had to be registered in the UCLA Department of Psychology Subject Pool.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* No specific exclusion criteria.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02745405', 'briefTitle': 'Implications of Wearing a Fat Suit', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of California, Los Angeles'}, 'officialTitle': 'Implications of Wearing a Fat Suit for Eating, Physiological Stress, and Psychological Well-Being', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '13-001873'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Fat Suit Condition', 'description': 'Participants are randomly assigned to wear a fat suit and then walk across campus.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Fat Suit']}, {'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'Control Condition', 'description': 'Participants are randomly assigned to wear the same clothing that is on the fat suit but in their own size and then walk across campus.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Control Condition']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Fat Suit', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Participants wear a fat suit.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Fat Suit Condition']}, {'name': 'Control Condition', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Participants wear same clothing as intervention, but in their own size.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Control Condition']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'A.
