  • The traditional primary/secondary prevention categorization for eating disorders may no longer be fully applicable.
  • A need exists to re-evaluate the effectiveness of current prevention frameworks.

Conclusions:

  • Interventions for dieting-induced disorders should be generic, addressing a spectrum of adolescent risk behaviors.
  • Sustained prevention efforts require integration into school curricula (dieting, smoking, alcohol, safe sex) and broader societal/systemic changes.
