Prevention of Eating Disorders
Prevention aims to promote a healthy development before the occurrence of eating disorders. It also intends early identification of an eating disorder before it is too late to treat.
Internet and modern technologies provide new opportunities for prevention. On-line programs have the potential to increase the use of prevention programs. The development and practice of prevention programs via on-line sources makes it possible to reach a wide range of people at minimal cost. Such an approach can also make prevention programs to be sustainable. Those kind of programs can be examined under the category eHealth. For instance ProYouth is an on-line prevention program for eating disorders, which is funded by European Union Health Programme 2008 - 2013.
