Nina Taylor's research focused on weight stigma and weight bias. She aimed to understand how social and cultural norms influenced weight perceptions and contributed to disordered eating behaviors, especially in adolescents.

Her work also examined the impact of stigma and cultural norms surrounding sexual health on adolescent sexual health networks and their access to comprehensive sexual health services.

Taylor's long-term goal was to develop interventions that used social network theories to shift body norms and reduce weight-based stigma.
