Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of two body acceptance programs for women. Participants may experience reduction of eating pathology and prevention of future obesity and eating disorders; may derive a sense of altruism and contribution to furthering understanding of a public health problem.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Counter-attitudinal therapy

Counter-attitudinal therapy (CAT) is dissonance-based group intervention. CAT consists of behavioral, written, and verbal exercises in which participants discuss the costs of pursuing the thin ideal and behaviors that are used to pursue the thin ideal. The intervention is 8 sessions long (1-hr each) and is administered by a trained facilitator who uses an intervention script. Participants will be asked to complete weekly home exercises throughout the course of the intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group-based Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Young women with body dissatisfaction will be randomized to one of two conditions: 1) an educational-support group condition; or 2) a counter-attitudinal therapy condition. We will test if a brief dissonance-based eating disorder prevention program produces intervention effects when delivered to participants with sub-threshold and threshold eating disorders.

Educational-support group

The educational support group intervention that is representative of typical treatment groups offered at universities and community settings. For the current study, the educational support group was designed to match the dissonance group on treatment modality (group-based), duration (8 1-hr sessions), and use of an intervention script administered by a trained facilitator. In the intervention sessions, participants will be provided with a basic education about eating disorders, support for themselves and fellow group members, and learn mindfulness techniques.Participants will be asked to complete weekly homework assignments.

Group-based Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Young women with body dissatisfaction will be randomized to one of two conditions: 1) an educational-support group condition; or 2) a counter-attitudinal therapy condition. We will test if a brief dissonance-based eating disorder prevention program produces intervention effects when delivered to participants with sub-threshold and threshold eating disorders.
