Phelps, LeAdelle; Sapia, Jennifer; Nathanson, David; Nelson, Linda
Psychology in the Schools, v37 n5 p443-52 Sep 2000
An eating disorder prevention program was completed with middle school, high school, and college females. Some successful outcomes included: (1) facilitating an acknowledgement of pressures to attain a model skeletal look; (2) changing attitudes about standards of beauty; and (3) altering the participants' current and future intentional use of pharmaceutical aids or disordered eating behaviors as methods of weight control.
