title: [Prevention of eating disorder: a review].
abstract: Eating disorders are severe mental illnesses that are challenging to treat and often follow a chronic course. They are associated with
  immense impairment on the psychological, physical, interpersonal, and social level as well as signifi cant direct and indirect cost. Therefore,
  prevention and early intervention are of utmost importance. Based on a qualitative literature review, we summarized the empirical evidence for
  the effi cacy of universal and selective prevention of eating disorders. Programs available in German and/or English were included in the review.
  In addition to research on effi cacy and effectiveness, the areas of implementation, dissemination, and reach were identifi ed as key issues for
  future studies. Furthermore, more research is needed on the relationship of cost, benefi t, and risks of eating disorder prevention.
