Summary

This study tests a 3-week digital program delivered through the VIPPSTAR app, designed to help children and adolescents with visual impairment build a healthier body image and become more critical of social media content. Participants aged 10-18 will complete daily exercises and answer questions about their body satisfaction, self-esteem, and social media habits. The goal is to see whether these digital tools can reduce harmful comparisons and boost positive self-perception in this group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Digital body image and social media literacy intervention delivered via the VIPPSTAR app
What this could lead to
If effective, this app-based program could offer a scalable way to support healthier body image and self-esteem in young people with visual impairment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is brief (3 weeks), and any benefits might not last.
