The purpose of the current study is to implement an evidence-based prevention program to
promote positive health behaviors among young adult women. It will be one of the first to
intentionally execute a prevention program targeting well-established risk factors for both
obesity and eating disorders in this high-risk population. Intervention content focuses on
promoting body size diversity and emphasizing positive health and behavior change in order to
reduce stigmatization and remain sensitive to weight-related issues. The manual was developed
by integrating two successful existing prevention programs and expanding on previous
prevention efforts. Specifically, the diversity of beauty ideals were highlighted to enhance
relevance among ethnic minority women, and distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills
training were included to target the maladaptive coping mechanisms young adults use to manage
the stress associated with transitioning to college.
