Brief summary
This study is about testing a short program that uses social support to help people with disordered eating. The goal is to see if this program can help people build better habits and feel better about eating while reducing harmful symptoms. In the long run, this project wants to make it easier for people with eating problems to get help and recover, especially for those in rural areas or other groups who don't often get the care they need. Participants will complete self-report measures online, and complete a digital single-session program.
