Summary

This study tests a program called the Pregnant Body Project (PBP) for pregnant individuals who have had an eating disorder or disordered eating in the past. The program involves six weekly group sessions on Zoom to help challenge unhealthy body ideals. Researchers want to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and if it can reduce body dissatisfaction and disordered eating during pregnancy and after birth.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pregnant Body Project (PBP) - a behavioral intervention adapted from The Body Project, delivered as 6 weekly group sessions via Zoom
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective way to prevent eating disorder symptoms and body dissatisfaction during pregnancy and postpartum.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study (60 participants) testing whether the program is practical and acceptable, not yet whether it works. Results may not apply to all pregnant individuals with eating disorder histories.
