About

A pilot randomized-controlled trial explored the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of an inclusive dissonance-based body image intervention called the EVERYbody Project. The professionally delivered EVERYbody Project was evaluated in a universal college student population compared to a waitlist control group through one-month follow-up.

Full description

An existing dissonance-based body image program (the Body Project; Stice, Shaw, Burton, & Wade, 2006) was adapted to directly discuss diversity within cultural appearance ideals (including race, gender identity, sexuality, ability, and age) and the individual and collective impact of pursuing exclusive appearance norms.

The feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of the EVERYbody Project was assessed in an initial randomized-controlled trial. College students within a university in the Pacific Northwest United States were invited to participate in programming (universal intervention target).

Professional delivery of the two-session EVERYbody Project was compared to a waitlist control condition. Intervention groups were facilitated by one "expert" (faculty or staff with body image expertise) and two college student co-facilitators. Mixed methods assessment included a comparison of changes in quantitative eating disorder risk factor outcomes across randomization conditions and among students with marginalized identities at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up. Qualitative interviews assessed the impact of the program on participants with marginalized identities. Feasibility and acceptability of the program was assessed to evaluate the appropriateness of the EVERYbody Project within universal college student audiences.

EVERYbody Project: Professional facilitator version
Experimental group
Description:
The EVERYbody Project is a dissonance body image intervention created from focus group feedback (Ciao, Ohls, \& Pringle, 2017) and through an iterative process of student-driven feedback. The Body Project manual (Stice et al., 2006) was adapted to retain key dissonance activities while expanding the gender focus, adding an exploration of the diversity characteristics within appearance ideals, and adjusting activities to be inclusive of diversity characteristics. Several adapted versions of the intervention were piloted with groups of college students and further adapted based on feedback. Facilitators received 16 hours of training on the EVERYbody Project manual and facilitation guidelines.
Treatment:
Behavioral: EVERYbody Project
Waitlist control group
No Intervention group
Description:
Participants allocated to the waitlist completed assessments at time points parallel to those in the EVERYbody Project condition and were offered the EVERYbody Project upon completing the one-month follow-up assessment.
