Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Eating Disorders like Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder continue to be a problem in the United States and across the world. The development of these life-threatening illnesses is prevalent in adolescence and early adulthood. Current research has shown that one way to mitigate risk factors for the development of eating disorders can be done through prevention programs that incorporate media literacy and dissonance-based interventions in a group setting. However, communities of color, males, and the Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) populations have been long neglected in eating disorder research, in general, as well as eating disorder prevention. The purpose of this project is to submit a grant proposal for the creation and implementation of a culturally competent, eating disorder prevention curriculum for students between the ages of 11-14 in the public school setting. The host agency for this project will be Family and Collaborative Services, which is a program of the Ontario-Montclair Unified School District that focuses on the mental health needs of their student population. Submission of this grant proposal was not a requirement for the completion of this thesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ours is a society in which thinness, particularly in women, is idealized, even at the cost of health. Adolescent girls and young women are especially at risk of developing eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. The need for wide-spread prevention among at-risk populations is paramount, as these disorders are often difficult to treat and can contribute to a range of physical and mental health problems. Studies have found that a cognitive dissonance-based intervention significantly outperforms other intervention programs and is successful in preventing onset of eating disorders. This facilitator guide outlines a two part group intervention program for adolescent and college-aged girls at risk of developing eating disorders. In the first part of the program, participants critique the thin-ideal through discussion, role-playing, and written exercises. Participants learn skills that increase body satisfaction, decrease unhealthy weight control behaviors, and prevent eating disorder symptoms. The second part of the intervention is designed to help participants make gradual and permanent lifestyle changes to achieve a healthy body weight. It teaches how to eat for energy balance, make healthy food choices, and incorporate physical exercise into a daily routine. This group therapy program is based on 16 years of research and has been completed by over 1000 adolescent girls and young women. It can be effectively delivered by real world providers, such as school counselors, nurses, and teachers. This facilitator guide provides all the information needed to successfully implement the program, including explanation of Cognitive Dissonance theory, session outlines complete with exercises, and recommendations on how to train group leaders and recruit participants.

Book excerpt: Research has revealed important information about disordered eating and how it is impacting the children in our schools. It was found more and more children are picking up disordered eating behaviors as young as five. If schools have a preventative disordered eating in place, it is much more likely that the disordered eating will not turn into a full blown eating disorder and recovery is more successful. This project discusses the dangers of eating disorders. This project will include lessons for school counselor to assist students who are struggling with an eating disorder. This program will also provide information for school counselors so they can assist teachers when students in their school who are struggling with an eating disorder. Finally, this project will include information for school counselors so they can assist parents who have a child that is suffering from an eating disorder. For an effective disordered eating program, students, teachers, staff members, and parents need to work together.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the retrospectively-reported implementation of eating disorder education and prevention programs in high schools among college freshmen, exploring whether characteristics of the schools0́9 influence rates of implementation. The sample consisted of 169 first-year students from an East Texas university. The sample was 19.5% male, 78.7% female, and 1.8% other, with ages ranging from 18-19. Students participated in an online survey consisting of questions regarding demographics, exposure to education and prevention programs, and high school characteristics (id est, size of graduating class, public or private, and location of school). Results demonstrated that few students were exposed to any eating disorder programming in high school (29.0%), with no students reporting that they were exposed to prevention programming. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the implementation of eating disorder education programs based on the size of the participant0́9s graduating class, whether the school was public or private, or where the school was located (public, rural, or urban areas). These results suggest that, universally, there is a lack of prevention programs being implemented in high school0́4a significant public health problem given existing evidence that prevention programs successfully prevent eating disorders in college and high school students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eating disorders affect millions of people in the United States alone. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of preventive curriculum for eating disorders called "Eating Disorders: Physical, Social, and Emotional Consequences, A High School Curriculum about Anorexia, Bulimia, and Compulsive Eating" (EDPSEC). Participants included an experimental group of 27 students in their ninth grade health class and a control group of 21 students. The research examined the integrity of the curriculum administration and changes in participating students' attitudes and behaviors. The outcome measures used were students' scores on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and the Eating Survey (ES). Results indicate high treatment integrity (85%) and significant change on students' EAT-26 scores, but not students' ES scores. Students' EAT-26 and ES scores correlated highly. Although a more robust sample and wider testing of the curriculum is needed, this study indicates that a school-based preventative program can yield positive results in changing some students' attitudes toward disordered eating.

Book excerpt: Eating disorders are a widespread problem that affects millions of people each year in the United States. Research-based prevention programs are becoming more and more important as this number rises. This study qualitatively examined the effectiveness of a prevention program called Eating Disorders: Physical, Social, and Emotional Consequences, A High School Curriculum about Anorexia, Bulimia, and Compulsive Eating (EDPSEC). Study participants included 10 female students in a ninth grade health class in a junior high school in Utah. The integrity of curriculum administration was analyzed and interviews were conducted. The aim of the interviews was to determine what students who received the curriculum felt about the program and eating disorders in general. Results indicate that while treatment integrity was considered low (45%), students still found value in the curriculum and enjoyed participating in it. While a wilder sample size and concurrent quantitative data are needed to further support these findings, this student indicates that the EDPSEC program is a viable option for implementing an eating disorder prevention curriculum in the secondary school setting.

Areas of focus include media literacy, intuitive eating, characteristics and dangers of eating disorders, and nutrition myths. The goal is to empower and provide students with the tools necessary to make healthy choices, ultimately reducing the risks for developing eating disorders. "Nourishing the Adolescent Mind and Body" is comprised of eight lessons created to be taught on a monthly basis to middle school students during General Heath Education class for the duration of the school year.
