To develop and pilot Life Smart, an eight-lesson program aimed at reducing risk factors for both eating disorders and obesity.
Grade 7 girls and boys (N = 115) from one independent school were randomly allocated to the Life Smart (two classes; N = 51) or control (three usual classes; N = 64) conditions. Risk factors were measured at baseline and post-program (5 weeks later).
Life Smart was rated as moderately enjoyable and valuable by participants. ANCOVAs with baseline as a covariate revealed a significant main effect for group favoring Life Smart for shape and weight concern (Effect Size [ES] = .54), with post-hoc testing finding girls particularly benefited on this variable (ES = .78).
Feedback was generally favorable, with some suggestions for even more interactive content. The program showed more promise with girls. Informed by these findings, the program underwent revisions and is now being evaluated in a randomized controlled trial.
开发并试点“生活智慧”项目，该项目共 8 节课，旨在降低饮食失调和肥胖的风险因素。
从一所独立学校抽取 7 年级的女生和男生（N=115），随机分配到“生活智慧”（两个班；N=51）或对照组（三个普通班；N=64）。在基线和项目后（5 周后）测量风险因素。
参与者对“生活智慧”的评价为中等愉悦和有价值。以基线为协变量的协方差分析显示，“生活智慧”组在体型和体重关注方面有显著的优势（效果量 [ES] =.54），事后检验发现女孩在这个变量上受益特别大（ES =.78）。
反馈普遍较好，有一些关于更具互动性内容的建议。该项目对女孩更有前景。根据这些发现，该项目进行了修订，目前正在一项随机对照试验中进行评估。
