NCT ID NCT07678554
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times
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.
