Summary
This trial compares a new electronic instrument for assessing body image with traditional paper and pencil rating scales for individuals with eating disorders.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with eating disorders who are currently in inpatient treatment. Participants must have a smartphone, be able to walk on their own, have a BMI of at least 14 but not over 41, and speak English. People with suicidal thoughts or psychotic disorders like schizophrenia aren't eligible.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the 'Body App', an electronic tool designed to assess body image among those with eating disorders. It will be compared to traditional methods involving paper and pencil rating scales.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using an app rather than medication, typical drug side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological discomfort while reflecting on their body image during assessments.
