“Among adolescent females in the United States, eating disorders rank as the third most prevalent chronic illness. Given its demographic, environmental, and overall community health statistics, the Bronx harbors a population uniquely vulnerable to the development of disordered eating behaviors. Through the implementation of the Body Project in Bronx District 10 middle schools, we aim to pilot a program that strives to promote body positivity and healthy eating behaviors in adolescence, with the goal of reducing disordered eating and preventing onset of eating disorders.”
