The purpose of this study was to examine ethnic differences in primary prevention programs for eating disorders in young girls. In order to address the dearth of research in this area, this study examined the comparative response to an eating disorder prevention program on fifth-grade minority and White females. Pre- and post-test data were collected from 10 groups participating in the prevention program for a total of 50 girls. Minority participants and White participants were then matched based on Body Mass Index (BMI) and socioeconomic status in order to examine ethnic differences in group effectiveness. Findings indicated that minority and White participants were equally responsive to the prevention program.
本研究旨在探讨针对年轻女孩的饮食失调初级预防计划在不同种族群体中的差异。为了解决这一领域研究的不足，本研究考察了针对五年级少数族裔和白人女性的饮食失调预防计划的比较反应。共有 10 个小组参加了预防计划，在计划实施前后收集了来自这 10 个小组的共 50 名女孩的数据。然后，根据体重指数（BMI）和社会经济地位对少数族裔参与者和白人参与者进行匹配，以检验组间效果的种族差异。研究结果表明，少数族裔和白人参与者对预防计划的反应相当。
