About this study
Official title: Emotion Regulation-Based Intervention for Eco-Anxiety and Eating-Related Eco-Concerns in Mexican Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of a group intervention based on emotion regulation as a coping strategy for eco-anxiety and eating-related eco-concerns in Mexican adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the intervention group show a significant decrease in eco-anxiety at the end of the intervention and at the four-month follow-up?
- Does the intervention group show a significant reduction in eating-related eco-concerns, as well as improvement in emotion regulation and adaptive coping styles?
Read more
Researchers will compare the intervention group with the control group to determine whether an intervention based on emotion regulation improves adaptive coping styles.
Participants will:
- Attend the intervention sessions weekly for 6 weeks.
- Complete the assessment instruments at three time points: prior to the start of the intervention, at the end of the intervention, and 4 months post-intervention.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Eco-Anxiety Scores
Measured using the Eco-anxiety Questionnaire (EAQ-Esp). Higher scores indicate greater eco-anxiety. The outcome is the change in scores, specifically whether eco-anxiety scores will decrease or change compared to baseline measurement
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change in Eating-Related Eco-Concerns
Measured using the Eating-Related Eco-Concerns Scale (EREC-Esp). Higher scores indicate greater eating-related Eco-Concerns. The outcome is the change in scores will decrease or change compared to baseline measurement
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks
