Student Bodies: Psycho-Education Communities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a Web-delivered, multimedia health educational program, Student Bodies. designed to improve body satisfaction, a probable risk factor for the development of eating disorders in young women. The program includes psycho-educational content and a newsgroup for communication, and is delivered in a structured framework of weekly readings, assignments and postings to the newsgroup. Intervention group participants improved their body image, and reduced other attitudes that predispose to eating disorders.
