This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a brief, online intervention called a single-session intervention (SSI) that teaches habit-building strategies to help prevent eating disorders in young adults. The study focuses on people who show early signs of eating disorder behaviors but haven't yet developed a full disorder. Researchers want to see if one 30-minute online session can reduce the risk of developing an eating disorder and help people build healthier habits.
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that can affect young people and have significant physical health consequences. Many people who need help don't have access to in-person treatment, so researchers are testing this brief online program as a way to reach more people early and prevent eating disorders from developing.

You would complete the study entirely online from your own device. First, you'll complete a brief screening survey with attention-check questions and word puzzles. Then you'll be randomly assigned to either the habit-training intervention or a supportive emotion-focused program, both lasting about 30 minutes. After completing your session, you'll answer follow-up questions to help researchers understand if the program was helpful.
