Summary

Individuals with visible conditions often report experiencing lowered social confidence and encountering intrusive reactions from others, yet relatively few targeted psychosocial self help interventions are available.

The investigators will conduct a randomised controlled trial to compare the efficacy of an adapted form of an existing self-help intervention with an enhanced version of the same intervention that incorporates if-then planning instructions (or 'implementation intentions') and a control condition that will receive support as usual. Participants who self-identify as having a visible condition affecting the skin or hair, or scarring to the skin that negatively affects their social confidence will be allocated to one of three conditions: augmented self-help, standard self help or control. The interventions will be delivered online and participants will complete psychometric outcome measures at two time points, four weeks apart.

It is hypothesised that participants who receive the augmented self help intervention will have a statistically significant decrease in fear of negative evaluation in comparison to both the standard self-help and support as usual control groups.
