Abstract | :
Thirteen percent of girls and women experience an eating disorder, yet most do not receive treatment. Thus, broad implementation of eating disorder prevention programs that reduce eating disorder symptoms and future eating disorder onset is a critical priority. This article (1) reviews risk factors that have been shown to predict future onset of eating disorders, because this should guide the content of prevention programs and high-risk subgroups to target with selective prevention programs; (2) reviews the evidence base for eating disorder prevention programs that have reduced eating disorder symptoms or future onset of eating disorders; and (3) discusses directions for future research. |
