Summary

This is a cluster randomized controlled trial with two assessment points (baseline and 24-week follow-up) comparing the Claudia Carraro prevention program to a no-intervention control group. The intervention group was also assessed at post-intervention. To ensure that all students benefit from the intervention, the control group received the intervention after the 24 weeks.

Randomization was performed at the school level, not the student level.

Claudia carraro prevention program

The "Claudia Carraro" prevention program is grounded in a cognitive-behavioral conceptualization of the development of eating disorders or disordered eating. The program was designed to address specific and non-specific risk factors that appear relevant: body dissatisfaction and unhealthy weight control behaviors. Its dual objective is to help participants reduce the importance they place on body weight and shape in self-evaluation while simultaneously promoting healthy weight regulation through adherence to Mediterranean dietary guidelines and an active lifestyle. The strategies and procedures used are derived from cognitive behavioral therapy protocols for eating disorders (Dalle Grave \& Calugi, 2020). The intervention is delivered by psychologists specialized in eating and weight disorders using an interactive, rather than didactic, format, involving small group activities and assigned homework tasks between sessions.
