Conversations With Caregivers About Health and Appearance
University of Oregon
Summary
This clinical trial is evaluating the effects of a 2-hour, small group discussion with parents and caregivers of adolescents in Oregon. We will evaluate whether parents'/caregivers' experience reductions in their disordered eating symptoms, mood symptoms, and parent-child relationship quality, relative to parent/caregiver participants in the wait list control. We will also evaluate whether the children of these parents/caregivers experience improvements in their disordered eating and mood symptoms.
