Brief description Eating disorders and obesity share common features such as unhealthy eating and weight status, and an increasing number of people experience both. This project will focus on understanding the role of social media and bullying in the development of obesity and eating disorders during adolescence. This information will then be used to develop and test a new integrated school-based prevention program to prevent both obesity and eating disorders.
