The first objective to determinate the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction in pregnant women and in the first year postpartum. The second objective is to assess the anatomical (both clinical and ultrasound), demographic and obstetric variables in symptomatic women and their association with pelvic floor dysfunction, sexual function and Body Image. This is a single center prospective cohort study. Women will be asked to fill out a questionnaire at the time of their 1st and 3rd trimester scan, at the postpartum checkup and 12 months postpartum. Furthermore, they will undergo a pelvic floor ultrasound at the time of their first and third trimester scan. The presence of pelvic floor dysfunctions will be recorded through validated self-administered questionnaires with five domains: Wexner questionnaire for anal incontinence, PAC-SYM for constipation, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form for urinary incontinence, the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory for pelvic organ prolapse, POP/UI Sexual Questionnaire - IUGA revised for sexual function. The body image perception will be assessed using the Dutch-validated version of the self-administered Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire. The anatomy of the pelvic floor will be objectively assessed off line on 3D/4D transperineal ultrasound volumes and POP-Q examination. The demographic variables and information about the pregnancy and the delivery will be obtained from the medical records.
The study is a randomized controlled study. A total of 200 students will be invited to participate in a 5-session mindful self-compassion course aimed at increasing self-compassion and reducing maladaptive perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and unhealthy body image. Self-compassion is the ability to show oneself kindness in instances of perceived inadequacy, failure, and suffering by attending to distressing experiences with kindness, mindfulness, and the ability to recognize these as a part of a shared humanity. Twelve participants will be randomly selected for pre- and post interviews to qualitatively evaluate outcome. Ten participants with high perfectionistic tendencies will be selected to participate in a narrative life story interview.
The purpose of this study is to better investigate the efficacy of the PRIDE Body Project in respect to preventing eating disorders in sexual minority men.

This study will recruit participants who are between the ages of 18 and 35, identify as men, are gay, bisexual, or experience sexual attraction to men, and who express body image concerns for the San Diego area.
Body image is one of the leading concerns for young people. Such concerns can have serious health consequences, including unhealthy weight control and exercise behaviours, depression, smoking, low self-esteem and misusing drugs and alcohol. Leading and emerging approaches for improving body image are effective among older adolescent females, and when delivered by expert providers (e.g., psychologists). However, there is a need for body image programmes that include males and so can be delivered in co-educational settings, and can be delivered by non-expert providers (e.g., teachers within schools) to facilitate cost-effective and ongoing use. This project will evaluate three classroom-based programmes for improving young people's body image, delivered by class teachers to girls and boys aged 13-14 years in secondary schools. Two programmes are based on leading (cognitive dissonance) and emerging (mindfulness) approaches for improving body image, but which have not been previously evaluated with both boys and girls and when delivered by teachers. The third programme has previously demonstrated effectiveness in improving body image when delivered by teachers to boys and girls in the classroom setting, and therefore will provide a useful comparison to benchmark these programmes. To assess the impact of each programme, the current study will compare the body image and well-being of students who take part in each programme to students who take part in an alternative programme, and those who do not take part in any programme (classes as usual), over a 6-month period. The investigators will also assess the extent to which gender and pre-existing levels of body image concerns impacts the benefit received from taking part in the lessons. To undertake this project, the investigators will recruit students and teachers from 24 schools in Bristol and surrounding areas in the South West of England. Students will complete questionnaire assessments of body image and well-being before and after the 5-week programme period, and again 6 months later to assess longer-term benefits. The investigators will also gain in-depth feedback from students and teachers via focus groups and interviews, in order to inform future improvement of the programmes for wider implementation. Therefore, this trial will assess whether the two newly adapted programmes result in improved body image compared to those who receive their classes as usual, and compared to an existing teacher-led programme.
