Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Digital Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • University students face barriers to timely disordered eating support.
  • Digital single-session interventions (SSIs) offer a scalable, accessible early intervention pathway.
  • Transdiagnostic approaches address multiple psychological targets relevant to disordered eating.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Co-design smartphone-delivered transdiagnostic SSIs for university students at risk of eating disorders.
  • Evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and relevance of these digital SSIs.
  • Identify key psychological targets for early intervention in disordered eating.

Main Methods:

  • Sequential mixed-method design across three phases.
  • Phase 1: Student prioritization of psychological targets (n=165).
  • Phase 2: Qualitative focus groups for usability feedback (n=18).
  • Phase 3: Quantitative usability evaluation of prototype SSIs (n=18).

Main Results:

  • Nine key psychological targets identified: challenging life events, contingent self-worth, rumination, self-acceptance, self-criticism, loneliness, negative body image, negative social media use, and fear of mistakes.
  • Digital SSIs demonstrated acceptable perceived quality across weight-concern severity groups.
  • Qualitative and quantitative data informed refinements for clarity, engagement, and credibility.

Conclusions:

  • Consumer-informed transdiagnostic digital SSIs are feasible and acceptable for university students.
  • These interventions represent a low-burden early support strategy.
  • Findings provide a foundation for randomized controlled trials and scalable implementation in university mental health settings.
