This study evaluated the impact of an elective college course on eating styles and body esteem among college women. Valid and reliable instruments available in the professional literature were used to collect data at pretest, posttest, and 6 month follow-up. Instruments included the Intuitive Eating Scale, Cognitive Behavioral Dieting Scale, Emotional Eating Scale, Body Esteem Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, and Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Paper and pencil surveys were used to collect data. Data was analyzed using SPSS v. 12. The intervention was conducted at a western university in an undergraduate course that met twice weekly for fifteen weeks. Participants included a convenience sample of 32 self-selected female students who were mostly white, normal weight seniors with significant dieting experience. The educational intervention was based on the Health Belief Model and incorporated perceived susceptibility/seriousness of poor body image and negative eating styles; barriers to change; and a variety of cues to action. Discussion and activity-based lessons focused on resisting media pressure, modifying dietary restraint, improving intuitive eating, and achieving healthy body esteem. Dependent variables included intuitive eating, dietary restraint, emotional eating, body esteem, and self-esteem. Comparison of pretest, posttest and follow-up scores was done using analysis of variance with two tailed tests at the .05 level of significance. Statistically significant improvements were seen in most measures from pre- to posttest and were maintained at 6 months. It was concluded that a theory-based educational intervention implemented within a college classroom setting can improve eating styles and body esteem among women.
