The study explored the use of online involvement by using chat rooms, and message boards to deter eating disorders, and image dissatisfaction. Sixty women from a west cost university, who were all susceptible were chosen to participate in the study. They were randomly split into two groups, thirty in wait-list control, and thirty in intervention. The treatments occurred in three phases: improving eating behaviour, cognitive restructuring, and relapse prevention training, with synchronous and asynchronous support groups, homework assignments, and weekly summaries. The results of this study showed that the intervention group had improved significantly over the wait-list control group on most subscales, thus explaining the effectiveness of an online intervention for at-risk college aged women. The work was easily readable; however, the tables were not well explained to an untrained eye, perhaps gearing the article more towards psychologists, and psychiatrists that specialize in this field.

The aim of this research was to see how girls with eating disorders evaluated their bodies form against their bodies function.
