Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This project tests whether a brief, influencer-delivered video can improve body confidence among adult women. It uses a two-arm online randomized controlled trial with 1,000 to 1,600 participants to compare the influencer video to an active control video. The study also examines whether recruiting participants through influencers is feasible, and surveys Canadian influencers about delivering evidence-based body image content. The intervention and control videos were created under a brief co-developed with CAR and Dove, with training provided to the influencer by Dove. The study will measure acceptability and efficacy, plus gather qualitative and logistical data on influencer involvement and content delivery.
