This study investigates outcomes of a revised version of a yoga-based, eating disorder prevention program, targeting eating disorder risk factors, among fifth grade girls (i.e., Girls Growing in Wellness and Balance: Yoga and Life Skills to Empower [GGWB]). The program is designed to decrease eating disorder risk factors and bolster self-care and includes revisions not yet studied that extend the program to 14 weeks and enhance content addressing self-care. Efficacy was assessed using a controlled, repeated measures design. Results indicate that participation in the GGWB program significantly decreases drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction while significantly increasing self-care when compared to a control group. As expected, the program did not have significant effects on eating disordered behaviour likely due to low baseline rates among participants. Implications of findings as well as directions for future research on prevention are discussed.
本研究调查了一项基于瑜伽的、针对五年级女生饮食障碍风险因素的饮食障碍预防计划修订版的结果（即“女孩健康成长与平衡：瑜伽和生活技能赋权[GGWB]”）。该计划旨在减少饮食障碍风险因素，并增强自我保健，包括尚未研究过的修订版，将计划延长至 14 周，并加强针对自我保健的内容。使用对照、重复测量设计评估疗效。结果表明，与对照组相比，参与 GGWB 计划可显著降低对苗条的渴望和身体不满，同时显著增加自我保健。正如预期的那样，由于参与者的基础率较低，该计划对饮食障碍行为没有显著影响。讨论了研究结果的意义以及预防方面未来研究的方向。
