Reducing eating disorder symptoms and risk factors using the internet: A meta‐analytic review
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this meta‐analytic review was, first, to evaluate the efficacy of Internet‐based programs in decreasing eating disorder (ED) symptoms, and, second, to identify moderator variables these effects. Method: Twenty studies were identified and between‐group effect sizes were calculated for ED symptoms and risk factors. Results: Compared with control conditions, Internet‐based programs successfully decreased body dissatisfaction (d = 0.28, 95% CI [0.15–0.41], p < .001), internalization of the thin ideal (d = 0.36, 95% CI [0.07–0.65], p < .05), shape and weight concern (d = 0.42, 95% CI [0.13–0.71], p < .05), dietary restriction (d = 0.36, 95% CI [0.23–0.49], p < .001), drive for thinness (d = 0.47, 95% CI [0.33–0.60], p < .001), bulimic symptoms (d = 0.31, 95% CI [0.20–0.41], p < .001), purging frequency (d = 0.30, 95% CI [0.02–0.57], p < .05), and negative affect (d = 0.32, 95% CI [0.12–0.52], p < .001). Moderator analyses revealed no impact of data analytic strategy on intervention effects. Similarly, participant risk status was not a moderator for most outcomes. Discussion: Internet‐based programs are successful in decreasing ED symptoms and risk factors with small to moderate between‐group effect sizes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
