Young women with psychiatric disorders face a fourfold higher risk, yet no widely implemented prevention programs exist in Denmark. Body Project SMIL addresses this gap by testing whether a structured online intervention can prevent eating disorders before they develop.\n\nThe study is open to women aged 15-25 with body dissatisfaction and a verified psychiatric diagnosis (e.g., mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, or personality disorders). Those with a clinical eating disorder diagnosis are not eligible. Participants must be comfortable engaging in online group discussions.\n\nParticipants are randomly assigned to one of two groups:\n\nBody Project Group - A peer-led, virtual program with four one-hour sessions focusing on challenging beauty ideals through structured exercises.\n\nExpressive Writing Group - A self-guided exercise where participants write about body image for four weeks.\n\nAssessments take place before and after the intervention, with follow-ups at six months, one year, and two years tracking body dissatisfaction, eating disorder symptoms, and well-being.\n\nThe Body Project is a proven intervention that reduces body dissatisfaction, thin-ideal internalization, and eating disorder symptoms, with some studies showing a 77% reduction in eating disorder risk. While tested in various settings, this study is the first to evaluate its impact on young women with psychiatric illnesses.\n\nParticipation benefits may include improved body image, reduced eating disorder risk, and enhanced self-esteem. The group format provides a supportive environment for sharing experiences and fostering healthier attitudes toward body image.\n\nEthical approval has been granted, ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations. Since this is a preventive program, it does not replace clinical treatment. Participants showing signs of an active eating disorder will be referred for appropriate care.\n\nRecruitment occurs through psychiatric departments, educational institutions, and social media. A research website (www.bodyproject.dk) provides study details and a secure registration form. Parental consent is required for participants under 18, and all participants may withdraw at any time without consequences.\n\nConducted by Aarhus University Hospital Psychiatry in collaboration with international experts, this research may inform scalable prevention programs for young people at risk of eating disorders.",[28,29,30,31],"Eating Disorders","Psychiatric Disorder","Body Dissatisfaction","Eating Disorder Symptom and Body Image Dissatisfaction",[33,34,35],"Prevention of eating disorders","Dissonance-based prevention","psychiatric ilness","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-03-31",{"date":39,"type":40},"2025-04-03","ACTUAL",{"date":42,"type":22},"2025-04-01",{"date":44,"type":22},"2026-07-01",{"name":46,"class":47},"Aarhus University Hospital","OTHER"]
