Interventions

  • Single session body neutrality program — BEHAVIORAL
    Single session body neutrality program is a brief, 30-minute digital intervention program. Participants will at first be given a brief introduction to body neutrality and minority stress. Then, they will be given fictional vignettes of based on common regional examples of body image stressors for LGBTQ+ individuals and practice giving advice to them. Finally, participants are provided with their customized body neutrality action plan based on their responses during the intervention program.

Study Details

LGBTQ+ individuals tend to have elevated risks for eating disorders (ED), possibly due to minority stress. For LGBTQ+ individuals living in rural Alabama, they tend to experience high levels of anti-LGBTQ+ structural stigma and limited access to LGBTQ+-specific resources, which engender compounded risk for ED development and reduced access to care. Brief digital single-session intervention that incorporates psychoeducation about minority stress and body neutrality may be efficacious in reducing ED risk and improve positive body image among LGBTQ+ adults in rural areas. Prior research from another lab developed a single-session intervention (Project Body Neutrality) among LGBTQ+ adolescents indicated immediate positive changes in body image constructs and psychological well-being. The present project evaluates and adapts Project Body Neutrality, specifically for LGBTQ+ adults in a rural high-stigma, low-resource region.
