Qualitative results analysis including themes and representative comments from post-intervention acceptability feedback survey

Theme	N (%)	Representative Comments
Enjoyment of the Zoom environment	9 (56.3%)	• I appreciated Zoom because it is more convenient. • I liked the Zoom format. It allowed us to do our normal day then sit down after dinner and talk. • It was a lot easier to find room for 4 h of session over zoom than if I’d had to drive to a physical location. • I liked the Zoom environment. It felt open for discussion and gave the participants the freedom to join from whatever physical location was most convenient to them. • Zoom is great. It is easy to use and I like that we can shut our cameras off if needing a moment break.
Perceptions of session activities	8 (50.0%)	• Writing the story I think was very powerful and enlightening so we can understand our thoughts in the moment when our emotions are most high. • I liked the activity where we brainstormed 10 ideas personally and socially then shared and picked one to implement. It felt like I walked away with a concrete plan of action for what comes next, which was great. • I liked roleplaying confrontation about anti-fat bias. • I did not like the reading of our worst case scenarios. Summarizing the main points was fine, but I didn’t expect to be reading it verbatim. • Feedback on the role plays [was missing from the sessions].
The time commitment was too high.	5 (31.3%)	• The long meetings [was what I liked least about BAM-Health]. • Lengthy activities before and between sessions [was what I liked least about BAM-Health]. • I honestly thought it could’ve been shorter. Some of the questions were redundant and doing the role play twice also was. • I did not like how long we spent on some of the activities. They could have been shortened.
Elements were missing from the sessions.	5 (31.3%)	• It stood out to me that it was all women participants. Men perpetuate anti-fat bias and I think it is important they are part of these conversations if BAM is intending to move the needle on anti-fat bias. • I think that it is incredibly important for healthcare providers to acknowledge and work around their own biases. I think the topics covered are 100% valid, informative, and important. The only gap for me was that sometimes it almost felt like we were being instructed to never suspect weight as a possible underlying health issue. I think it can be a factor for some and think a little more clarification in that realm would be helpful. • I wish there was more conversation around sexuality and pleasure.
The group atmosphere was positive.	4 (25.0%)	• I really enjoyed the open conversations. I didn’t feel embarrassed for not being well informed on the subject. • I liked the small group atmosphere where we all contributed and shared and got to know one another and shared a brave space where it was ok to talk about difficult things. I liked realizing that everyone had some of the same thoughts and fears and perceptions as me and it made me feel less weird and less alone.
