Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate effects of a 7-week undergraduate course, incorporating Eat Breathe Thrive program curriculum, offered to female student-athletes in order to increase positive body image, emotional regulation, interoceptive awareness, self-care skills, and intuitive eating. The undergraduate course is structured around the Eat Breathe Thrive program curriculum, which aims to: a) teach somatic practices that increase interoceptive awareness, b) provide healthy tools for emotional regulation, c) allow for the creation of community-based networks of support, and (d) foster a sense of meaning and purpose through service activities. In a non-randomized controlled trial, the investigators plan to examine whether this preventative undergraduate course is found effective in a female student-athlete population in preventing and decreasing eating disorder risk. The investigators also plan to examine whether the program is found effective in increasing protective factors, such as self-care behaviors, interoceptive awareness, intuitive eating, and emotional regulation skills.
