Can a new program outperform the gold standard in eating disorder prevention?
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Priorities program (behavioral intervention)
- 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.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to everyone. The new program might not be more effective than the existing one.
