UNASSIGNED: The prevalence of @entity1279 ( @entity1279 ) and @entity5550 ( @entity5550 ) among Latinas is comparable to those of the general population; however, few interventions and treatment trial research have focused on this group. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the treatment of choice for @entity5550 . CBT-based guided self-help (CBTgsh)-a low-cost minimal intervention-has also been shown effective in improving @entity6426 related symptom, but the effectiveness of the CBTgsh among ethnic minority @entity1 is not well understood. Cultural adaptation of evidence-based treatments can be an important step for promoting treatment accessibility and engagement among underserved groups. This qualitative study was part of a larger investigation that examined the feasibility and efficacy of a culturally adapted CBTgsh program among Mexican American @entity1 with @entity5550 . Posttreatment focus groups were conducted with 12 Mexican American @entity1 with @entity1279 or @entity5550 who participated in the intervention. Data were analyzed with the grounded theory methodology (Corbin _ Strauss, 2008). Three themes emerged from the data: (a) eating behavior and body ideals are socially and culturally constructed, (b) multifaceted support system is crucial to Mexican American @entity1 's treatment engagement and success, and (c) the culturally adapted CBTgsh program is feasible and relevant to Mexican American @entity1 's experience, but it can be strengthened with increased family and peer involvement. The findings provide suggestions for further adaptation and refinement of the CBTgsh, and implications for future research as well as early intervention for disordered eating in organized care settings.
