Intervention(s)

Based on the individual screening result, participants will be allocated to one of the five parallel intervention groups. Women with full-syndrome eating disorders will be excluded from participation and receive a treatment referral. Following informed consent and baseline assessment of primary and secondary outcomes each group obtains access to an evidence-based online prevention program tailored to their respective needs and conditions: everyBody Original, everyBody Basic, everyBody Plus, everyBody AN and everyBody Fit. All programs offer psychoeducation and behavioral exercises aiming to promote or establish healthy eating and exercise habits as well as improve self-esteem.

EveryBody Original targets women with a BMI from 21 to 25 who report elevated weight and shape concerns, but no other symptoms of an eating disorder. Participants from this group receive 8 weekly intervention sessions and get access to a moderated group discussion board. An additional aim in this group is the improvement of body image.

EveryBody Plus targets women with a BMI greater than 18.5 who report occasional binge eating and/or compensatory behaviors. Participants from this group receive 8 weekly intervention sessions, get access to a moderated group discussion board and receive weekly personal feedback. Additional aims in this group are the reduction of binge eating and/or purging and improvement of body image.

EveryBody AN targets women with a BMI ranging from 18.5 to 21 who report elevated weight and shape concerns but no other eating disorder symptoms. Participants from this group receive 10 weekly intervention sessions, get access to a moderated group discussion board and receive weekly personal feedback. Additional aim
Primary Outcome(s)
Weight and shape concerns (measured with Weight Concerns Scale) at baseline and post-intervention
Secondary Outcome(s)

1. Weight and shape concerns are measured using the Weight Concerns Scale at baseline, 6 and 12 months follow up (effectiveness)
2. Core eating disorder symptoms (binge eating, compensatory behaviors are measured by self-report (questionnaire) at baseline, post-intervention, 6 and 12 months follow up (effectiveness)
3. Self-esteem is measured using the Rosenberg Self Esteem-Scale at baseline, post intervention, 6 and 12 months follow up
4. Quality of life is measured using the Assessment of Quality of Life-8D questionnaire at baseline, post intervention, 6 and 12 months follow up
5. The reach of the program is measured using sociodemographic variables (questionnaire) of participants at baseline
6. The adoption of the program is measured qualitatively by analyzing communication with stakeholders pre-intervention
7. The implementation of the program is measured by analyzing access paths, cost per recruit and participants adherence to the program before, during and post intervention
8. The maintenance of the program on a participant level is measured by assessing primary and secondary effectiveness outcomes
9. The maintenance of the program on a setting level is qualitatively assessed by analyzing stakeholder attempts to deliver the intervention at their own expense after recruitment for the study is completed
