To explore the impact of a prevention program on the eating and body attitudes of a sample of adolescent schoolgirls.
The program involved lessons and group discussions of general adolescent problems and eating disorders. A total of 254 16-year-old schoolgirls were evaluated, of whom 154 participated in the program and a further 154 subjects formed the control group. Variations in weight, Eating Attitudes Test and Eating Disorders Inventory at a 1-year follow-up were compared for the two groups.
Among high-risk subjects, no significant differences were found between the prevention and the control group. The preventive program appeared to reduce significantly body dissatisfaction and to decrease the risk of bulimic attitudes in low-risk subjects.
Providing schoolgirls with the correct information about eating disorders did not encourage unhealthy attitudes to eating and weight regulation practices. However, for high-risk subjects more intensive and specific intervention may be required, for which further research is needed.
探讨一项预防计划对青春期女学生样本的饮食和身体态度的影响。
该计划包括关于一般青少年问题和饮食失调的课程及小组讨论。总共对254名16岁女学生进行了评估，其中154人参与了该计划，另有154名受试者组成了对照组。比较了两组在1年随访时体重、饮食态度测试和饮食失调量表的变化。
在高危受试者中，预防组和对照组之间未发现显著差异。预防计划似乎显著降低了低危受试者对身体的不满，并降低了出现暴食态度的风险。
向女学生提供有关饮食失调的正确信息不会助长对饮食和体重调节行为的不健康态度。然而，对于高危受试者可能需要更深入和具体的干预措施，对此还需要进一步研究。
