Celebrandome: Preliminary Study

Celebrándome: A Body Confidence Program for Hispanic/Latinx Youth

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intervention Group; 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; 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.; Other Names: Body Confidence Single Session
No Intervention: Wait-List Control Group; 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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
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.
