饮食失调的预防计划试图同时防止新病例的出现（一级预防），并鼓励已经有症状的学生寻求早期治疗（二级预防），即使这两种预防的理想策略可能互不相容。在本研究中，一个饮食失调的预防计划进行了评估，在女大学新生的样本。在干预中，从饮食失调中恢复的同学描述了他们的经历，并提供了有关饮食失调的信息。在随访中，干预参与者的饮食失调症状略多于对照组。该计划在预防饮食失调方面可能是无效的，因为通过减少这些疾病的耻辱（鼓励有问题的学生寻求帮助），该计划可能无意中使他们正常化。
Prevention programs for eating disorders attempt to simultaneously prevent new cases from arising (primary prevention) and encourage students who already have symptoms to seek early treatment (secondary prevention), even though ideal strategies for these 2 types of prevention may be incompatible with each other. In the present study, an eating disorder prevention program was evaluated in a sample of female college freshmen. In the intervention, classmates who had recovered from eating disorders described their experiences and provided information about eating disorders. At follow-up, intervention participants had slightly more symptoms of eating disorders than did controls. The program may have been ineffective in preventing eating disorders because by reducing the stigma of these disorders (to encourage students with problems to seek help), the program may have inadvertently normalized them.
