Study Summary

This trial compares two methods to reduce appearance concerns: text messages for safety behavior fading vs. unhealthy behavior fading.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for females with high appearance concerns, indicated by a score of 53 or higher on the SAAS. It's not suitable for males, those with recent changes in psychiatric meds, scores below 53 on the SAAS, or anyone currently in treatment for anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or body image issues.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests two text message-based interventions: one focuses on reducing safety behaviors related to appearance concerns and the other targets unhealthy behaviors. The goal is to see which method is more effective for individuals struggling with these issues.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves behavioral interventions through text messaging rather than medication or medical procedures, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience increased awareness of their behavior patterns.

Active Control

Group I: Safety Behavior FadingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Individuals randomly assigned to the safety behavior fading condition will receive instructions to decrease or eliminate their endorsed appearance-related safety behaviors. In addition, they will receive daily reminders via text message to decrease these behaviors, along with a safety behavior monitoring checklist in which the participant indicates the extent to which they decreased and/or eliminated each safety behavior over the previous day.

Group II: Unhealthy Behavior FadingActive Control1 Intervention

Individuals randomly assigned to the unhealthy behavior fading condition will receive instructions to decrease or eliminate unhealthy behaviors that are unrelated to appearance. They will also receive daily reminders via text message to decrease these behaviors, along with a behavior monitoring checklist in which the participant indicates the extent to which they decreased and/or eliminated each behavior over the previous day.
