PRIDE BODY PROJECT
Eating Disorder Prevention
The PRIDE Body Project (PBP) is a dissonance-based eating disorder prevention program for sexual minority men. Dr. Aaron Blashill and our team recently finished an R01 funded by the NIMHD, comparing PBP to an active control condition in Southern California through 2-year follow-up. Initial results support the efficacy of PBP, with a ~50% reduction in eating disorder onset compared to control.
BODY DISSATISFACTION & EATING DISORDERS
Factors Affecting Risk in LGBTQ+ folks
Our research in this area has focused on sociocultural factors impacting risk for eating disorders in LGBTQ+ folks, including minority and intraminority stress processes and eating disorder treatment outcomes for LGBTQ+ folks.
PROUD TO BE ME
Eating Disorder Prevention
This program is a collaboration with the Dove Self Esteem Project, Anna Ciao & the Eating & Body Image Lab at Western Washington University, & Canvas Arts Action Program. We adapted Dove Self Esteem Programming for LGBTQ2S+ youth in Toronto Canada.
We are hoping to eventually evaluate this program with community partners in Alabama and Washington.
