Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new intervention for body-image distress to reduce eating disorder symptoms in young women and girls between the ages of 15-25 years old. Participants complete up to 8 digital sessions using their mobile phone that include a character, story line and interactive exercises, games and digital rewards. Everyone in the study completes the intervention after different periods of time (2, 4 or 6 weeks) of completing assessments. Researchers will examine the impact of the intervention on participants ability to respond flexibly to body-image distress or triggers, measuring things like heart rate, eye gaze, and reaction time to body-image related words and images, and test how long it takes to see change.
