Pilot Trial of the Body Image Program to Prevent Eating Disorders in Female University Students in Mexico (NCT07193043)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine whether the Body Image Program (BIP), a group workshop, is feasible and acceptable to deliver to young women in Mexico. The program is designed to help participants critically evaluate social pressures to be thin and to support healthier body attitudes. The main questions are: * Can the investigators successfully recruit, retain, and engage university students in the program? * Do participants find the program useful and clear? * Does the program show early indications of lowering body dissatisfaction and unhealthy eating attitudes? Participants will: * Attend 2 group sessions, one per week, each lasting approximately 2 hours (120 minutes). * Complete short activities and homework exercises between sessions, such as reflective writing or self-affirmation tasks. * Complete questionnaires at baseline, immediately after the program, and at 1-month follow-up.
