研究组 & 干预措施
Eating disorders prevention
The Body Project. The Body Project is a dissonance-based eating disorders prevention programme. It is a manualised evidence-based programme that targets eating pathology and body image dissatisfaction in young women. The objective of the programme is to create cognitive dissonance to encourage participants to decrease pursuing ideal-thinness. It includes group discussion, written and behavioural exercises and role-play to achieve cognitive dissonance (Stice, Rohde, & Shaw, 2013). It involves four group sessions for an hour each in consecutive weeks. At the beginning of each meeting, the facilitator reinforces voluntary commitment. Homework is explained and given at the end of each meeting and reviewed at the beginning of the following meeting.

Healthy eating education
The control group were asked to read educational material in Arabic about healthy nutrition and active lifestyle from the Saudi branch of the World Obesity Federation (Kayl Association for Combatting Obesity, 2021). The material includes information about body mass index; easy ways to measure food units without a scale; benefits of working out; means to adopt healthier daily habits; and healthier food alternatives. The material was chosen because it was designed to be easy to understand by any individual.

结局指标
主要结局
Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q, version 6.0).
时间窗: 5 months
The EDE-Q is a widely used self-report measure of eating disorder psychopathology (Fairburn \& Beglin, 2008). It contains 28 items investigating eating disorder behaviours and attitudes during the past 28 days. It includes four subscales: dietary restraint; eating concerns; weight concerns; and shape concerns. The Global EDE-Q score (mean of the four attitudinal scores) and the scores of each subscales were used in this study. Higher scores indicate greater eating pathology. The scale was applied before and after the programme to assess outcomes.
