Body image and body satisfaction are consistently cited as the main causes for disordered eating patterns and clinical eating disorders. While there has been sufficient research regarding the causes leading to disordered eating behaviors, research regarding intervention and prevention programs for at-risk populations has been lacking. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a body image awareness program on weight satisfaction in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I female athletes. Sixteen athletes (age 19+/-1.01 years) from five sporting teams were randomly assigned to a control group or intervention group, participated in a 6-week body awareness program. Surveys were administered at the beginning and end of the intervention period, and data was analyzed measure any differences in body satisfaction using a paired sample T-test. The percentage of athletes in the intervention group who indicated that they were satisfied with their current weight increased from 44% at the beginning of the intervention to 78% after competing the body image awareness program while the control group's satisfaction percentage decreased from 71% to 57%. On a scale of 1-6 (1=Extremely Dissatisfied; 6=Extremely Satisfied), participants in the intervention program reported an increase in weight satisfaction from 3.89 to 4.33 at the completion of the program while the control group showed no statistically significant changes. Using another rating scale for dissatisfaction (0=Not at all dissatisfied; 6=Markedly), participants in the intervention group reported a decrease in weight dissatisfaction from 1.11 to 0.67, while this number increased in the control group from 1.86 to 2.43 over the span of the intervention period. These results provided some support of the efficacy of this program on weight satisfaction in NCAA Division I athletes, though not statistically significant.
