| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated a school-based prevention program aimed at five shared risk factors of eating disorders and obesity (body image, media, self-esteem, dieting, and weight-based teasing), and its effect on developmental assets. Developmental assets have been found to protect against disordered eating attitudes and behaviours. Activities corresponding to each of the shared risk factors were provided to junior high school students by trained teachers; five different intervention sequences were tested. Over two years, 255 students in total completed the Developmental Assets Profile (DAP) at three time points: before, immediately after, and two to five months following the interventions. Doubly multivariate analyses demonstrated that one sequence was most effective. In year one there were significant increases for this sequence on the internal DAP subscales. In year two these trends persisted, though were not significant. These findings suggest intervention order may be an important aspect of effective obesity and eating disorder prevention. | en_US |
