Abstract | This document reports on the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of "A Preventive Curriculum for Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia" (Carney and Veilleux, 1986) which was published by the Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Association-Canadian/American (BANA-Can/Am), an organization which was formed in 1983 by parents, professionals, and patients in southwestern Ontario who were concerned about the epidemic spread of eating disorders. Three phases in the development of the curriculum are described: (1) identification and delineation of an outline for the curriculum, and a model and method for evaluation of the curriculum; (2) the review of the first draft by selected target groups such as the funding agency, health professionals, teachers, and consultants; followed by a second draft to be used in the formal evaluation; and (3) actual pilot testing of the curriculum along with qualitative and quantitative evaluations. The quantitative evaluation is described and results from pretests (N=315) and posttests (N=362) of the Eating Disorders Inventories and measures assessing knowledge and attitudes are presented. Changes in the curriculum suggested by verbal and written comments from students and teachers in the qualitative evaluation are listed. Plans for future evaluations of the curriculum in various settings are discussed. (NB) |
