*Résumé :*
The authors investigated the effectiveness of 2 interventions in
reducing eating disorder risk factors under naturalistic conditions in
sororities. On the basis of previous research, the campus sororities
chose to implement a semimandatory, 2-session eating disorder prevention
program to all new sorority members (N = 90) during sorority
orientation. To facilitate evaluation, sororities agreed to random
assignment of new members to either a */cognitive dissonance/* or a
media advocacy intervention. Undergraduate peer facilitators ran the
groups. Although both interventions had an effect, */cognitive
dissonance/* generally was superior at 8-month follow-up. Results
further support the utility of */cognitive dissonance/* in reducing
eating disorder risk factors and suggest that nondoctoral-level leaders
can deliver the program. Results also indicate that a semimandatory
format does not reduce effectiveness. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006
