Abstract

Background: Body dissatisfaction is a growing concern among adolescent females, particularly those living in rural communities where access to supportive mental and physical health resources is limited. High levels of social media use and low engagement in structured physical activity are linked to negative body image, elevated anxiety, and reduced overall well-being in this population. The Hoosier Sport Re-Social intervention was developed to address these challenges by integrating sport participation, social media literacy, and mental skills training in a community-based program designed for adolescent girls.

Methods: This study follows the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) guidelines and is structured around three aims. First, we will conduct a cross-sectional study with adolescent girls in grades 6 through 9 to examine the relationship between body satisfaction, physical activity levels, and social media use. Second, we will develop the Hoosier Sport Re-Social intervention using a co-design process that actively involves adolescents, parents, and school staff to ensure relevance and feasibility. Finally, we will conduct a mixed-methods pilot study in two rural middle and high schools to assess feasibility and acceptability. The intervention will be implemented within physical education and health classes over a 6-week period. Primary outcomes will include feasibility indicators such as recruitment, retention, fidelity, and participant engagement. Secondary outcomes will include measures of body satisfaction and social media literacy, while exploratory outcomes will examine changes in psychosocial factors and physical literacy.

Discussion: This study will provide important insights into the acceptability and practicality of delivering a biopsychosocial, school-based intervention targeting body dissatisfaction among rural adolescent girls. Findings will inform future efforts to scale the program and evaluate its effectiveness in improving mental, physical, and cognitive health outcomes.

Trial registration: This trial was prospectively registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06556719).

印地安那州乡村发展生物心理社会身体满意度干预的协议。
背景:身体不满意是青春期女性日益关注的问题,特别是那些生活在农村社区的青少年,在那里获得支持性身心健康资源的机会有限。在这一人群中,高水平的社交媒体使用和低水平的有组织的体育活动与负面的身体形象、焦虑加剧和整体幸福感下降有关。Hoosier体育再社会干预是为了解决这些挑战而开发的,通过将体育参与、社会媒体素养和心理技能培训整合到一个为青春期女孩设计的社区项目中。方法:本研究遵循标准方案项目:介入性试验建议(SPIRIT)指南,并围绕三个目标构建。首先,我们将对六年级至九年级的青春期女孩进行横断面研究,以检验身体满意度、体育活动水平和社交媒体使用之间的关系。其次,我们将开发Hoosier体育再社会干预使用一个共同设计过程,积极参与青少年,家长和学校工作人员,以确保相关性和可行性。最后,我们将在两所农村初中和高中进行混合方法的试点研究,以评估可行性和可接受性。干预措施将在为期6周的体育和健康课程中实施。主要结果将包括可行性指标,如招聘、保留、忠诚和参与者参与度。次要结果将包括身体满意度和社交媒体素养的测量,而探索性结果将检查心理社会因素和身体素养的变化。讨论:本研究将为提供针对农村少女身体不满的生物心理社会学校干预的可接受性和实用性提供重要见解。研究结果将为今后扩大项目规模和评估其在改善精神、身体和认知健康结果方面的有效性提供信息。试验注册:该试验已在ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06556719)前瞻性注册。

期刊介绍: Pilot and Feasibility Studies encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of pilot and feasibility studies in biomedicine. The journal publishes research articles that are intended to directly influence future clinical trials or large scale observational studies, as well as protocols, commentaries and methodology articles. The journal also ensures that the results of all well-conducted, peer-reviewed, pilot and feasibility studies are published, regardless of outcome or significance of findings. Pilot and feasibility studies are increasingly conducted prior to a full randomized controlled trial. However, these studies often lack clear objectives, many remain unpublished, and there is confusion over the meanings of the words “pilot” and “feasibility”. Pilot and Feasibility Studies provides a forum for discussion around this key aspect of the scientific process, and seeks to ensure that these studies are published, so as to complete the publication thread for clinical research.
