Effects of an Internet‐based Prevention Programme for Eating Disorders in the USA and Germany — A Meta‐analytic Review

Beintner, Ina, Jacobi, Corinna, Taylor, Craig Barr·2012·European Eating Disorders Review

Abstract

A cross‐cultural comparison of a cognitive–behavioural, Internet‐based, 8‐week prevention programme for eating disorders (StudentBodies™) evaluated in the USA and in Germany was performed. Six US and four German randomized controlled trials with a total (N) of 990 female high school and college students were included in the review. Two of the US and two of the German trials explicitly addressed high risk samples in a selective prevention approach. Effect sizes for main outcomes (disordered eating, weight and shape concerns) were calculated at postintervention and at follow‐up. The intervention was associated with moderate improvements in eating disorder‐related attitudes, especially reductions of negative body image and the desire to be thin. The reported effects remained significant at follow‐up. No clear differences between US and German samples could be found on any of the outcome measures at postintervention. In conclusion, StudentBodies™ seems equally suitable and effective for American and German students. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association.

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.
