However, no VR software was developed to concurrently tackle dysfunctional eating behaviours and three third wave cognitive\u2013behavioural transdiagnostic factors linked to EDs: psychological inflexibility, emotion dysregulation and experiential avoidance. This preliminary study is aimed at evaluating potential effects of a new VR\u2010based preventive intervention (H.O.M.E.\u2014How to Observe and Modify Emotions) in improving selected outcomes of transdiagnostic factors and dysfunctional eating behaviours in the general population (GP) with ED risk compared to a waiting list (WL). <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200940 GP participants with ED risk were screened (using the SCOFF and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE\u2010Q)) and randomised into VR (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200920) or WL (n\u2009=\u200920) groups. Before and after intervention and at 3\u2010 and 6\u2010month follow\u2010up, participants completed EDE\u2010Q, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale\u2014brief version (DERS\u201016) for emotion dysregulation, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II (AAQ\u2010II) for psychological inflexibility and Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI) experiential avoidance scale. H.O.M.E. improved scores in all EDE\u2010Q subscales (EDE\u2010Q\u2010total: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003; EDE\u2010Q\u2010restraint: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.028; EDE\u2010Q\u2010eating concerns: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.035; EDE\u2010Q\u2010shape concerns: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003; EDE\u2010Q\u2010weight concerns: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.023), AAQ\u2010II (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005), DERS\u201016\u2010total (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.006), DERS\u201016\u2010difficulty in engaging in goal\u2010directed behaviours (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.008), and DERS\u201016\u2010limited access to emotion regulation strategies (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), with results greater than WL and maintained at follow\u2010ups. Results showed potential for H.O.M.E. to represent a feasible tool to prevent EDs.
