Intervention against the stigmatization of men with eating disorders in primary care (iSMEsH): Protocol for a randomized mixed-methods evaluation trial

The intervention seeks to reduce stigma against men with EDs in primary care by improving GPs' and medical students' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Strengths include the comprehensive mixed-methods approach and involvement of people with lived experience. Limitations are reliance on self-report and short-/intermediate-term outcomes. If effective, iSMEsH may offer a foundation for future stigma-reduction strategies in healthcare.
