Abstract
BACKGROUND
The objective of this study is to evaluate the Respect YOU program's impact on students' eating expectancies, body image satisfaction levels, self-efficacy, and knowledge. A total of 444 (intervention cohort n = 348, control cohort n = 96) underclassmen enrolled in health or physical education courses from 7 high schools in the Midwest participated in the study.
METHODS
A repeated measure research design was utilized to assess students' eating expectancies, body image satisfaction levels, self-efficacy, and knowledge. More specifically, paired t-tests were conducted to compare outcome measurements to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention.
RESULTS
Among the students who received the intervention (n = 348), there was a statistically significant change in scores for eating expectancies (Z = −14.403, p < .001), body image satisfaction levels (Z = −14.114, p < .001), social media self-efficacy (Z = 14.868, p < .001), and knowledge scales (Z = −16.100, p < .001) at post-intervention and compared to the control group.
CONCLUSIONS
Results indicate that the Respect YOU program was effective in improving body image scores, eating expectancies, self-esteem, and knowledge-related outcomes among students post-intervention. These results can be used to further develop educational programming to address body image concerns and disordered eating among adolescents.
