About this trial
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.
