  • Title: An exploratory evaluation of the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of the mental fitness disordered eating program in schools.
    Author: Anderson CN, Holody KJ, Flynn MA, Hussa-Farrell R.
    Journal: Eat Disord; 2017; 25(3):230-245. PubMed ID: 28441121.
    Abstract:
    The present study examines the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a tiered professional development disordered eating prevention program. A pretest/posttest quasi-experimental design assessed elementary and junior high school faculty and staff's disordered eating knowledge and attitudes. Findings indicate participants experienced increased awareness of students' susceptibility to and the severity of disordered eating, increased self-efficacy about referring students to appropriate resources, and overall perceived acceptability of the training. Improved knowledge and attitudes suggest faculty and staff are better equipped to identify at-risk individuals at an early stage, increasing the likelihood of recovery from disordered eating behaviors or disordered eating.
