Background summary
Approximately 250.000 adolescents in the Netherlands have a visible difference (i.e. disfigurement). Many of these adolescents experience appearance-related distress and worry about romantic relationships (Griffiths, Williamson, & Rumsey, 2012).
To address this appearance-related distress, an online psychotherapeutic intervention, Young People Face IT (YP Face IT), has been developed in England to help young people cope (Williamson, Griffiths, & Harcourt, 2015). The adult intervention, Face IT, has already been tested and found effective at reducing anxiety, depression and appearance concerns amongst individuals with disfigurements, whilst increasing positive adjustment (Bessell et al., 2012).
Study objective
YP Face IT is effective at reducing social anxiety and improving body esteem
Study design
T1: Prior to randomisation.
T2: Immediately after intervention or (in case of care as usual) after 13 weeks.
T3: 3 months after the intervention or (in case of care as usual) after 25 weeks.
