This study explored a novel facilitation approach for a diversity-focused body image program for college students. A brief (4 h) dissonance-based program was open to all college students and delivered by "expert" diverse peer leaders who were screened for facilitation readiness. Body image and related outcomes were improved through 3-month follow-up relative to a comparison condition, suggesting that expert peer facilitation may be a viable option for delivering universal, inclusive body image programming.
