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 whether a program called the Body Project can work well for young women in Nova Scotia who want to develop a healthier body image and reduce their risk of developing an eating disorder. The Body Project is a peer-led group program that helps participants think critically about society's messages about how bodies 'should' look. The study will see how many young women are interested, whether they find it helpful, and whether it actually reduces eating disorder risk factors.
Many young women struggle with body dissatisfaction and unhealthy eating behaviors, which can lead to serious eating disorders. This trial exists to find out if this proven prevention program can be successfully brought to Nova Scotia and help young women before an eating disorder develops.
