Preventing Eating Disorders by Improving Mental Health Literacy in Chinese Adolescents

The current MHL intervention is a brief online intervention and comprises two modules. The first module is a short video introducing a teenage girl with bulimia nervosa. The second module is an online lecture comprising information about eating disorders including the prevalence, symptoms, type, cause, treatment, a related symptom checker, and sources of help. The above two modules are implemented in a single session lasting approximately 2 hours.

Participants assigned to the waiting list group will not receive any intervention until the end of the 12 weeks follow-up. They received the same intervention as the MHL intervention group after the 12 weeks follow-up test.
