Summary
The Find What Moves You (FWMY) program, designed for adolescent girls, showed moderate to high feasibility, fidelity, and acceptability in a pilot study. An in-person format may be more suitable for this age group.
Area of Science:
- Adolescent health
- Body image research
- Intervention development
Background:
- Adolescent girls often experience negative embodiment, devaluing themselves and disconnecting from their bodies.
- This can lead to poor body image, reduced physical activity, and disordered eating.
- The Find What Moves You (FWMY) program aims to prevent these negative outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of the FWMY program using intervention mapping.
- To report the results of the first pilot study evaluating FWMY's feasibility, fidelity, and acceptability.
Main Methods:
- Intervention mapping was used to guide program development.
- A pilot study involved six girls aged 12-14 in an online FWMY program.
- Feasibility, fidelity, and acceptability were assessed.
Main Results:
- The FWMY program demonstrated moderate to high feasibility, fidelity, and acceptability.
- Acceptability of the online format was mixed.
- An in-person format may be more appropriate for the target demographic.
Conclusions:
- The intervention mapping approach is applicable for developing health interventions.
- The FWMY program shows promise for addressing negative embodiment in adolescent girls.
- Further research should explore an in-person delivery format.

Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
