Practical Implications

This research explores the intended and unintended consequences of eating disorder public service announcements. We assessed participants’ attitudes toward eating disorders and people with eating disorders, willingness to interact with people with eating disorders, and experience with eating disorders (covariate) at Time 1. At Time 2, participants were randomly assigned to watch a stigmatizing or a non-stigmatizing eating disorder public service announcement. Exposure to the stigmatizing public service announcement resulted in more negative attitudes toward eating disorders and in less willingness to interact with people with eating disorders, but not in significantly more negative attitudes toward people with eating disorders. The discussion highlights the practical implications for health communication campaigns.

Positive Evolution

Disturbances in physical self-perceptions (PSP) can lead to inappropriate attitudes and eating behaviours (IAEB) including eating disorders (ED) and obesity. This exploratory study assesses the effects of a blind integrated prevention program—the SILENCE Program—with high school students. No significant effect of the SILENCE Program on the IAEB of the 61 adolescents was observed between pre- and post-test, but a positive evolution of specific PSP components (global self-esteem, perceived physical appearance, etc.) during 14 consecutive weeks was demonstrated compared to an ED-only program and the control condition. Promising avenues for integrated prevention programs (like SILENCE Program) are discussed.

Men With Eating Disorders

Research on eating disorders and body-image concerns has traditionally focused on White women and girls. Only a few studies have addressed the specific needs of racially and ethnically diverse men with eating disorders. This article reviews and presents research findings on contextual risk factors that contribute to eating disorders and body-image concerns in men and boys. First, important race- and ethnicity-related factors such as racial identity, acculturation, and experiences of discrimination are briefly discussed. Risk factors relevant for this population, including race-related factors, visual and social media, sexual orientation, muscularity, weight and obesity, and substance abuse, are then explored. Finally, implications for service providers and areas for future research are identified.
