Adherence
An 8-week Internet-delivered psychoeducational intervention (Student Bodies) significantly reduces body dissatisfaction and disordered eating attitudes in high-risk college women compared to a wait-list control.
If you are a college student concerned about body image, an 8-week online program involving weekly readings, cognitive exercises, and moderated discussion groups can significantly reduce body dissatisfaction and disordered eating attitudes. The program requires active participation, including posting in discussion groups and attending a few face-to-face sessions, but offers a structured, evidence-based approach to improving body satisfaction.
At posttreatment, participants in SB had significant reductions in weight/shape concerns and disordered eating attitudes compared with those in the WLC condition. At follow-up, disordered behaviors were also reduced.
Why this rating
Randomized controlled trial with a control group, though sample size is modest (N=76) and attrition was present.
