Summary

This study is testing a program called the Body Project, designed to prevent eating disorders in girls and young women aged 15 to 22 in Nova Scotia. Participants attend group sessions led by peer mentors, either in person or online, and fill out questionnaires before and after. The goal is to see if the program is acceptable, practical, and effective at reducing risk factors like body dissatisfaction and unhealthy dieting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
The Body Project (eating disorder prevention program)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a proven way to prevent eating disorders in youth across Nova Scotia, improving body image and reducing unhealthy dieting.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study (120 participants) focused on whether the program works in this region, not a large-scale test of effectiveness. Results may not apply to all youth.
