Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Body Image disorders

  Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-14) Measurement and Administration: The BSQ-14 is a self-reported, 14-item Likert-scale questionnaire. It measures the multi-dimensional construct of body image, specifically focusing on body shape dissatisfaction, fear of gaining weight, and self-deprecation due to physical appearance over the past four weeks. Scoring: Each item is rated on a 6-point scale ranging from 1 ("Never") to 6 ("Always"). Total scores are calculated by summing all items, yielding a range of 14 to 84, where higher scores reflect greater body shape dissatisfaction and distress. Definitions and Criteria: While the BSQ-14 is primarily used to evaluate the severity of body dissatisfaction along a continuum rather than as a diagnostic tool, established cutoff scores categorize the level of concern. Scores below 38 generally indicate no or mild concern, scores between 39 and 49 represent moderate concern, and scores of 50 or above indicate
