Can a new program outperform the gold standard in eating disorder prevention?

NCT ID NCT07678554

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study compares two behavioral programs for young women aged 14-22: a new one called Priorities, which helps build self-worth beyond weight and shape, and The Body Project, an established eating disorder prevention program. Researchers want to see which is more effective at reducing body image concerns and preventing eating disorders. Participants will complete surveys before and after the program to measure changes.

What this could lead to

If Priorities works better than The Body Project, it could offer a more effective way to prevent eating disorders and improve body image in young women.
