Document Summary
Title: testing mediators of intervention effects in randomized. Controlled trials: an evaluation of two eating disorder prevention. Of the article: investigate mediators hypothesized to account for effects of 2 eating disorder prevention programs. The goal of the rst prevention program was to reduce their thin-ideal internalization to decrease eating disorder risk factors and bulimic symptoms. Indicated because students had to endorse body image concerns during a telephone screen. Each was screened and found to be at risk. Primary - none of the girls already had an established disorder. Measures of data collection (what is measured, # of times, and how) Data was collected 4 times once per week for 4 weeks, tested mediation. Thin-ideal internalization was measured with an eight-item ideal-body stereotype. Health eating was measured by 4 items assessing healthy eating behaviours. Dissonance-based program = voluntarily engage in verbal, written and behavioural exercises in which they critiqued the thin ideal.
