Note: assessing patient growth/nutrition, while important, can feel triggering. Important to consider words/body language, when/where to discuss. Involve patient - decide together what works best for them. @Flat_Jennie @ICNPatients #ICNCC21F #CultivatingOurSharedFuture

Engagement improves research. When we have patients and parents involved on our research teams we end up with appropriate, inclusive study designs. @hilarykmichel #ICNCC21F #Engagement #AllTeach #AllLearn #OutsmartIBD

For engagement: one size doesn't fit all. And that's OK. Whether you're communicating openly with your doc. Or you're on an advisory panel. We value all of it. @hilarykmichel #ICNCC21F #GetInvolved

On feeling safe in clinic: When a provider takes time to say "I hear you" that helps me feel safe and validated. It's important to listen, and to show that you are listening. Body language matters. Weight is important, but try to make it less of the focus. #ICNCC21F

Normalize talking w/ patients about body image/eating behaviors in context of IBD. Consider verbal & body language impact - aim for neutrality. Honor differences - ask patients how/if they want to discuss these topics. Respond accordingly. #ICNCC21F -
