Pac-12 Test of the Effectiveness of Bodies in Motion in Reducing Disordered Eating and Body Image Concerns

Intervention groups will be offered separately to male- and female-identifying athletes; each group will consist of six to eight athletes and multiple groups may be run each academic term. Facilitators will use the gender-specific programs in their delivery. Intervention athletes will receive a participant workbook as well as be invited to join a BIM-specific, private social media platform that will allow them to share, connect, and support each other through out their involvement in the program. As part of our mixed-methods design, we will also conduct qualitative interviews to explore the student athletes' experiences of the BIM program. Following intervention, we will invite 12-16 male and 12-16 female identifying athletes who completed the BIM program to participate in the structured interviews. Interviews will be semi-structured and are expected to last 60-90 minutes
