The objectives of this study were to assess this course's feasibility and effectiveness, through a quasi-naturalistic control trial. A sample of 124 students who took this elective course during 2019–2020 was compared with a matching sample of 150 students who did not attend the course. Students were assessed four times: immediately before, immediately after, and three, and six months after the course completion, using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD_RISK), Rosenberg Scale of Self-Esteem (RSE), Body Esteem Scale (BES), a standardized measure of emotional status (DASS-21), and the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire—4r (SATAQ-4r). The course was found to be both feasible and effective. Statistically significant differences were found between the respective improvements of the Intervention and the Comparison groups in all variables—with the Intervention group showing greater improvement, albeit with a small effect size.

Further, this study expanded on prior work, demonstrating that the relationship between adolescents’ coping and internalizing symptoms was associated with the degree to which mothers model coping.
