| Scientific title | Interactive school-based disordered eating prevention programme in adolescent girls: general and specific effects |
| Study objectives | A school-media literacy-based prevention programme is effective in improving eating attitudes and reducing the influences of the Beauty Ideal from baseline scores to post-test and six months follow-up. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Terrassa Health and Social Welfare Institute (Institut Municipal de la Salut i Benestar Social - IMSBS), approved in February 2005 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Disordered eating |
| Intervention | The trial was carried out in seven schools. The prevention programme consists of two components: Nutrition component (Nut): One 90-minute talk. Topics include: Balanced eating concept, concept and differentiation between eating and nutrition, nutrients, food pyramid and foods, importance of water, analysis of menus Media Literacy component (ML): Two 90-minute talks + two 60-minute activity sessions. The topics of the talks include: "Feminine beauty ideal", "How to deal with media messages". The activity sessions include analysis of advertising and writing model letters of complaint to the media. These interventions were developed from a previous version shorter and without activities (Raich, et al (2008): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18443983). The programme is described in a manual: Raich et al (2008). Eating, Feminine Beauty Ideal and the Media. How to train critical secondary students (Alimentación, modelo estético femenino y medios de comunicación. Cómo formar alumnos críticos en educación secundaria) (2nd edition) Barcelona: Graó. ISBN: 978-84-7827-644-8: http://www.grao.com/libros/ficha.asp?ID=686. Each school was randomly allocated to one of the following three trial arms: 1. Complete programme (Nut + ML): one session per week for five weeks 2. Partial programme (ML): one session per week for four weeks 3. Control group: no interventions (classes as usual) Contact details of co-investigators: Jordi Fauquet Ars (jordi.fauquet@uab.cat) Gemma López-Guimerà (gemma.lopez@uab.cat) Mariona Portell Vidal (mariona.portell@uab.cat) David Sánchez-Carracedo (david.sanchez@uab.cat) |
