BRIDGE 2 (Building the Relationship Between Body Image and Disordered Eating Graph and Explanation): interventions and transitions.
BRIDGE 2 (Building the Relationship Between Body Image and Disordered Eating Graph and Explanation): Interventions and Transitions, builds upon the framework presented in the first publication of BRIDGE. BRIDGE 2 moves beyond increasing the understanding of the relationship between body image and eating disorders and encourages a movement into action. First, it suggests the appropriate point of intervention for both parents and teachers. Second, the continuum of health care from promotion to prevention, to early intervention, and to basic and specialized treatment services is positioned on the BRIDGE framework. This added dimension offers a new level of understanding specific to eating disorders by utilizing concepts from mental health promotion and mental illness prevention literature.
