other studies have briefly examined what is needed for CACREP accredited programs to incorporate eating disorder training, this is the first study of its kind in the United States investigating the eating disorder mental health literacy (ED-MHL) and clinical
practice of counselor trainees. This study will examine counselor trainee ED-MHL which encapsulates the ideas of competency, self-efficacy, and the influence of personal body image in discussing eating disorders and body image with clients, not exclusively
the programs from which they come from</span></p>

A total of ten gift cards will be awarded randomly. An additional benefit to participating in this study may also include contributing to a greater understanding of counselor trainee eating disorder mental health literacy and overall improvement in clinical
practice with this population. Those that are screened and able to participate in this study but choose to skip survey questions will still be eligible to receive a gift card upon reaching the end of the survey. Depending on the amount of participants in this
study, the odds of receiving a gift card would be a maximum of 1 in 100. If you are screened and ineligible to participate in this study, you will not have the opportunity to be entered for a chance to win a gift card. You may withdraw or decline without penalty
at any time.</span></p>
