Change Agent Research on the BANA-Can/Am Summer Camp for Young People with Eating Disorders.
Moriarty, Dick; And Others
This document reports on the model and method used to design, implement, coordinate, and evaluate a summer camp for young people with eating disorders. The basic approach used at the camp is described as the Sports Institute for Research model, a systems analysis model which focuses on: (1) the ultimate goal or mission; (2) obstacles or problems preventing achievement of this goal; (3) structure in terms of administration and control; (4) significant individuals and groups of both clients and providers in terms of their traits, situations, and behaviors; (5) social stress from outside the sponsoring organizations; and (6) constituent strain from within the specific project, leading to recommended changes, restructuring, and realignment of individuals and groups to establish a trend. The model was applied specifically to the Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Association-Canadian/American summer camp and change agent research was used in each of the individual camps; quantitative and qualitative data obtained in the research evaluation are presented. Includes charts. (NB)
