Brief Summary

The Dove Self Esteem Project, has provided our research team with funding to develop a 60- minute workshop for Hispanic/Latinx Youth between the ages of 11 to 16 years old that builds body confidence. This workshop was developed based on prior curriculum the investigator has developed for The Dove Self Esteem Project and designed with two teachers and several adolescent children. The aims of the current study are to: 1) examine the efficacy of the workshop, and 2.) evaluate the extent to which children like the curriculum and find it useful. Children will be randomized to control group or intervention group; however, the control group will eventually go through the workshop after 2 surveys. It is hypothesized that children in the intervention group will report higher body satisfaction scores, greater self- esteem, more awareness of body talk and less engagement in appearance comparisons relative to the control group. It is hypothesized that children will report liking the workshop, finding it useful and engaging.

Conditions

Body Image; Self Esteem

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Baseline - Body Image Self Esteem (Body Esteem Scale; Mendelson & White, 1982)

  This measure assesses the extent youth like their appearance and the extent they dislike their appearance. Higher scores indicate more self esteem. Instructions are "Right now, please tell us how much this represents you." Items are on a Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (Always).

  This measure is administered immediately before the intervention.

• Post - Body Image Self Esteem (Body Esteem Scale; Mendelson & White, 1982)

  This measure assesses the extent youth like their appearance and the extent they dislike their appearance. Higher scores indicate more self esteem. Instructions are "Right now, please tell us how much this represents you." Items are on a Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (Always).

  This measure is administered immediately after the intervention.

• Baseline - General Self Esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale - Child Version; -Rosenberg, 1965)

  This measure assesses the extent to which a person like themselves or feels competent. Higher scores indicate more higher self esteem. Instructions are "Right now, please tell us how much this represents you." Items are on a Likert scale from 0 (I strongly agree ) to 3 (I strongly disagree).

  This measure is administered immediately before the intervention.

• Post - General Self Esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale - Child Version; Rosenberg, 1965)

  This measure assesses the extent to which a person like themselves or feels competent. Higher scores indicate more higher self esteem. Instructions are "Right now, please tell us how much this represents you." Items are on a Likert scale from 0 (I strongly agree ) to 3 (I strongly disagree).

  This measure is administered immediately after the intervention.

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Baseline - Appearance Conversations Scale (Jones, Vigfusdottir, & Lee, 2004).

  This measure is administered immediately before the intervention.

• Post - Appearance Conversations Scale (Jones, Vigfusdottir, & Lee, 2004).

  This measure is administered immediately after the intervention.

• Baseline - Pressures to Conform to Appearance Ideals (Sociocultural Pressures Scale; Diedrichs, Atkinson, Steer, 2015)

  This measure is administered immediately before the intervention.

• Post - Pressures to Conform to Appearance Ideals (Sociocultural Pressures Scale; Diedrichs, Atkinson, Steer, 2015)

  This measure is administered immediately after the intervention.

• Baseline - Appearance Comparisons (Social Comparison to Models and Peers Scale; Jones, 2001)

  This measure is administered immediately before the intervention.

Other Outcomes (1)

• Palatability Characteristics of the Program

  Assessed in the intervention condition only, immediately after the workshop.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Hispanic/Latinx youth between the ages of 11 to 16 will participate in a 60 minute workshop aimed and increasing body image satisfaction and self esteem. Participants randomized to the intervention group are scheduled immediately to receive the intervention. The intervention is delivered in a group format with groups consisting of no more than 20 youth.

Behavioral: Celebrandome

Wait-List Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The control group is a waitlist control group. Participants in the control group complete a survey, wait for 2 to 3 weeks, then are eligible to sign up for the workshop. During the wait-list period they complete 2 surveys.

Interventions

Celebrandome BEHAVIORAL

This intervention is based on existing cognitive dissonance body confidence programs for youth such as Amazing Me, Free Being Me, and Body Project. Consistent with these programs, workshops are entirely experiential getting you to discuss appearance ideals and why they are problematic, pressures they experience to conform to appearance ideals, ways to combat pressures, they compare pictures that are normal versus digitally altered and discuss ways this is problematic, they discuss body talk statements they hear all the time and how this promotes appearance ideals, they practice ways to combat body talk statements. They develop positive affirmation statements. In addition and unique to this curriculum, all activities highlight cultural ideals and how youth can receive different messages related to different appearance ideals and they unique stress and pressures this creates.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: early phase 1
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: TRIPLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, CARE PROVIDER, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: The project coordinator and PI oversee the randomization and participant tracking. However, participants do not know their assigned condition, and facilitators that run the workshops are blind to participant condition, and undergraduate research assistants that oversee the distribution of surveys are blind to participant condition.
• Purpose: PREVENTION
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR

Model Details: Participants are randomized to the intervention or wait-list control group. The intervention group will complete a baseline survey, receive the 60 minute workshop, and completes a post-intervention survey. The control group receives a survey, waits, completes a baseline survey, then receives the 60 minute workshop, and completes a post-intervention survey.
