OBJECTIVE: Impediments limit dissemination and implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs), including lack of sufficient training. One strategy to increase implementation of EBIs is the train-the-trainer (TTT) model. The Body Project is a peer-led body image program that @entity1277 ( @entity1277 ) risk factors. This study examined the effectiveness of a TTT model at reducing risk factors in Body Project @entity1 . Specifically, this study examined whether a master trainer could train a novice trainer to train undergraduate peer leaders to administer the Body Project such that individuals who received the Body Project (i.e., @entity1 ) would evidence comparable outcomes to previous trials. We hypothesized that @entity1 would evidence reductions in @entity1277 risk factors, with effect sizes similar to previous trials. METHOD: Utilizing a TTT model, a master trainer trained a novice trainer to train undergraduate peer leaders to administer the Body Project to undergraduate @entity1 . Undergraduate @entity1 aged 18 years or older who received the Body Project intervention participated in the trial and completed measures at baseline, post-treatment, and five-month follow-up. Primary outcomes included body dissatisfaction, thin ideal internalization, negative affect, and @entity1277 pathology. RESULTS: @entity1 demonstrated significant reductions in thin ideal internalization, @entity1277 pathology and body dissatisfaction at post-treatment and 5-month follow-up. At 5 months, using three different strategies for managing missing data, effect sizes were larger or comparable to earlier trials for 3 out of 4 variables. DISCUSSION: Results support a TTT model for Body Project implementation and the importance of utilizing sensitivity analyses for longitudinal datasets with missing data.

Reducing XXXX risk factors: A pilot effectiveness trial of a train-the-trainer approach to dissemination and implementation.
