Treatment and study plan

Group-based Therapy

Behavioral

Young women with body dissatisfaction will be randomized to one of two conditions: 1) an educational-support group condition; or 2) a counter-attitudinal therapy condition. We will test if a brief dissonance-based eating disorder prevention program produces intervention effects when delivered to participants with sub-threshold and threshold eating disorders.
