A study funded by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) found that some young adult women may respond to an Internet-based program aimed to prevent eating disorders. During the trial, an eight-week cognitive-behavioral intervention program called "Student Bodies" was shown to college age women who were considered at-risk for developing an eating disorder. The online intervention program addresses women's concerns about body weight and shape, body image, and promotes healthy eating. This study is so very important because approximately 4% of all girls and women will develop anorexia nervosa or bulimia.
