A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Body Acceptance After Baby (BABI) delivers acceptance-based skills in a single online session aimed at reducing body dissatisfaction among postpartum women. Participants are randomized to BABI, a brief postpartum body image infographic, or a waitlist control. Outcomes are collected via self-report measures before the session, immediately after, and at follow-up to track changes in body dissatisfaction and coping. The trial enrolls English-speaking women in the U.S. who gave birth to a live infant within the past year and report some dissatisfaction with their appearance.
