This study tested the efficacy of an Internet-based health promotion program, BodiMojo, designed to promote positive body image in adolescents. Participants were 178 students (mean age 15.2 years, 67.6% ethnic minority) in three public high schools. Intervention groups used BodiMojo for four weekly health class periods, while controls participated in their usual health curriculum. Body image measures were given at baseline, post-intervention, and 3 months. Girls reported decreased body dissatisfaction (p<.05), decreased physical appearance comparison (p<.05), and increased appearance satisfaction (p<.05), relative to controls. Effects were not maintained at 3-month follow-up. No significant differences were found between the intervention and control groups with boys. Moderation analyses suggested positive effects for diverse adolescents as well as those who were overweight or indicated baseline high body dissatisfaction. BodiMojo appears to be modestly effective in decreasing body image concerns among adolescent girls in the short term.
本研究测试了一种基于互联网的健康促进计划 BodiMojo 的功效，该计划旨在促进青少年的积极身体形象。参与者是三所公立高中的 178 名学生（平均年龄 15.2 岁，67.6%为少数民族）。干预组在四周的健康课期间使用 BodiMojo，而对照组则参加他们通常的健康课程。在基线、干预后和 3 个月时进行身体形象测量。与对照组相比，女孩报告的身体不满（p<.05）、身体外表比较（p<.05）和外表满意度（p<.05）降低。这些效果在 3 个月的随访中没有得到维持。在男孩中，干预组和对照组之间没有发现显著差异。调节分析表明，对于不同种族的青少年以及超重或基线身体不满程度较高的青少年，都有积极的效果。BodiMojo 在短期内似乎对减少青春期女孩的身体形象问题有一定效果。
