Peer Mentorship
Participants meet weekly with an adult peer mentor who has recovered from an eating disorder. The focus of meetings is on eating disorder symptoms and how to overcome them. The goal of this program is to reduce eating disorder symptoms directly by receiving support and guidance from someone who has been through it.
Peer mentorship: Weekly meetings with a recovered peer mentor once per week. Dyads discuss eating disorder symptoms and how to overcome them.
Recovery Record use with mentor: Recovery Record is a smart phone or web-based application designed to provide recovery support to eating disorder patients. Includes a number of features aimed to promote recovery, such as a meal tracking, prompts for completing meals/snacks, tracking for additional symptoms such as stress and mood, motivational messages, information about coping strategies, and capacity to share logged data with clinicians and mentors.

Social Support Mentorship
Participants meet weekly with an adult mentor who has not personally struggled with an eating disorder but who is dedicated to offering support. During weekly meetings, participants and mentors (and possibly 1-2 other mentees) engage in activities unrelated to the eating disorder. The goal of this program is to reduce eating disorder symptoms indirectly by exploring aspects of self outside the eating disorder.
Social support mentorship: Weekly meetings with a social support mentor who has not personally struggled with an eating disorder, once per week. Dyads engage in activities unrelated to the eating disorder (e.g., a movie, a community event, volunteer work).

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6Population: Not every person completed this measure at every time point.
The Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (EPSI) is a self-report questionnaire that includes 8 subscales and we used the Body Dissatisfaction subscale. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert-style scale (0 = Never; 4= Often) to describe how well each item describes the participant's experiences. Scores are derived by summing responses across the questions included in each subscale. The range for Body dissatisfaction is 0 - 28. Higher scores are reflective of greater eating pathology.

Peer Mentorship
n=20 participants at risk
Participants meet weekly with an adult peer mentor who has recovered from an eating disorder. The focus of meetings is on eating disorder symptoms and how to overcome them. The goal of this program is to reduce eating disorder symptoms directly by receiving support and guidance from someone who has been through it.
Peer mentorship: Weekly meetings with a recovered peer mentor once per week. Dyads discuss eating disorder symptoms and how to overcome them.
Recovery Record use with mentor: Recovery Record is a smart phone or web-based application designed to provide recovery support to eating disorder patients. Includes a number of features aimed to promote recovery, such as a meal tracking, prompts for completing meals/snacks, tracking for additional symptoms such as stress and mood, motivational messages, information about coping strategies, and capacity to share logged data with clinicians and mentors.
|
Social Support Mentorship
n=18 participants at risk
Participants meet weekly with an adult mentor who has not personally struggled with an eating disorder but who is dedicated to offering support. During weekly meetings, participants and mentors (and possibly 1-2 other mentees) engage in activities unrelated to the eating disorder. The goal of this program is to reduce eating disorder symptoms indirectly by exploring aspects of self outside the eating disorder.
Social support mentorship: Weekly meetings with a social support mentor who has not personally struggled with an eating disorder, once per week. Dyads engage in activities unrelated to the eating disorder (e.g., a movie, a community event, volunteer work).
