  • As body image research continues to expand, it can be difficult for clinicians and researchers to know how to choose the most appropriate measures to assess and treat patients. This handbook provides a comprehensive and well-organized catalogue of existing body image and related measures, detailing their descriptions, psychometric properties, and recommended applications, enabling readers to easily identify the most suitable tools for their studies or clinical work. It also offers guidance on adapting these measures for diverse cultural contexts, ensuring assessments are culturally relevant and sensitive. The book features step-by-step instructions on how to administer, score, and interpret each measure, with real-world examples that make it highly practical and accessible. With its focus on accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and ease of application, this handbook is invaluable for researchers, counselors, educators, and health professionals focused on body image.

  • Summary

    Research suggests significant correlations between body image and various sexual health and sexual behavior variables. However, the available scholarship in this area has several gaps. Currently, there are limited theories to understand associations between body image and sexual health and behavior. Existing studies primarily utilize two theories or the research is presented as atheoretical. Additionally, it is common for researchers to use invalidated measures for body image and sexual health and behavior, limiting our ability to compare results across studies. Further, researchers often rely on convenience samples of undergraduate, White, heterosexual women. The lack of diversity in the majority of research in this area makes it impossible to generalize the findings and to understand these associations among diverse individuals. As such, there is a need in the scholarship to increase utilization of theory, standardized and valid instruments, as well as diverse samples to better understand how positive body image and sexual health and sexual behavior are related and the impact this has on individuals and society.
