Summary

The goal of this randomised controlled trial has two aims: Do UK-based children ages 4 to 6 years understand a evidence-informed song with body confidence messaging without visual aids? and Does children's body appreciation improve after listening to the intervention song, relative to an active control? Children in primary school will be randomised to an intervention condition or active control condition at the individual level. Assessments will occur through one-on-one structured play-based questions assessing body appreciation, message comprehension, and intervention acceptability.
