Abstract

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a peer-led single-session intervention targeting the sociocultural pressures of body image. Participants: New members of 13 sororities at one university. Methods: Participants were randomized by sorority into the intervention (n = 207) or wait list control (n = 264). Online surveys were administered at baseline and one month to assess social determinants of body image, body image dissatisfaction (BID), and body appreciation. Multiple logistic and linear regression analyses compared changes over time between groups. Results: We observed significant improvements in overall sociocultural pressures of body image (p = .001) and the subscales of Norms (p < .001) and Perceived Norms (p = .009) of eating and exercise behaviors. Change in BID and body appreciation did not differ between groups. Conclusion: A one-hour peer-led community-level intervention can lead to positive changes in sociocultural pressures in new initiates to a sorority.

针对大学生联谊会女生身体形象的社会文化压力进行单次干预的随机对照试验。

目的评估针对身体形象的社会文化压力而采取的由同龄人主导的单节课干预措施的效果。参与者：某大学 13 个女生联谊会的新成员。干预方法参与者按联谊会随机分为干预组（n = 207）或候补对照组（n = 264）。在基线期和一个月后进行在线调查，评估身体形象的社会决定因素、身体形象不满意度（BID）和身体鉴赏力。多重逻辑分析和线性回归分析比较了不同组别随时间的变化。结果：我们观察到，身体形象的整体社会文化压力（p = .001）以及饮食和运动行为规范的子量表（p p = .009）均有明显改善。BID和身体鉴赏力的变化在组间没有差异。结论由同龄人主导的一小时社区级干预可以使联谊会新成员的社会文化压力发生积极变化。
