(PS6-C68) An Evaluation of a Brief Zoom-facilitated Mindful and Intuitive Eating Intervention to Decrease Disordered Eating

            Clinical eating disorders are psychological disorders that impact a small percentage of the population. Subclinical disordered eating is a broader term for eating patterns and behaviors that do not meet clinical threshold, but that still may be life impairing (Burnette & Mazzeo, 2020). Subclinical disordered eating impacts many more individuals than clinical eating disorders do and is often present without the direct awareness of the people affected by it. Mindful and intuitive eating approaches have recently begun to emerge as combined and stand-alone treatments for disordered eating and eating disorders. Studies have been limited in terms of population, with individuals with eating disorders making up the large majority of research subjects. The current study was further evaluation of an online mindful and intuitive eating intervention to combat disordered eating with university students (Albers, 2018; Resch, 2019). The goals were to increase education and decrease overall disordered eating. Current pilot data shows that disordered eating did decrease, mindful and intuitive eating increased, and general mindfulness improved across the duration of the study. Further data will be explored.
