The present study examines the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a tiered professional development disordered eating prevention program. A pretest/posttest quasi-experimental design assessed elementary and junior high school faculty and staff's disordered eating knowledge and attitudes. Findings indicate participants experienced increased awareness of students' susceptibility to and the severity of disordered eating, increased self-efficacy about referring students to appropriate resources, and overall perceived acceptability of the training. Improved knowledge and attitudes suggest faculty and staff are better equipped to identify at-risk individuals at an early stage, increasing the likelihood of recovery from disordered eating behaviors or disordered eating.
本研究考察了分层专业发展饮食失调预防项目的可行性、可接受性和有效性。一项前测/后测准实验设计评估了中小学教职员工的饮食失调知识和态度。研究结果表明，参与者对学生易患饮食失调症及其严重性的认识有所提高，将学生转介至适当资源的自我效能感增强，并且总体上认为该培训是可接受的。知识和态度的改善表明教职员工更有能力在早期识别出有风险的个体，从而增加从饮食失调行为或饮食失调中康复的可能性。
