Reducing Eating Disorder Risk Factors Among College-Aged Males

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Eating Disorder

In brief

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the acceptability and efficacy of a cognitive dissonance-based (DB) intervention in reducing eating disorder and muscle dysmorphia risk factors in men with body dissatisfaction. The investigators hypothesized that the program would reduce eating disorder risk factors to a greater degree compared to wait list control and that these effects would be maintained at 1 month follow-up.
