| Description | Prevention of eating disorders (ED) remains an elusive discipline in the field of risk behaviour prevention. Prevention of ED in schools can be further complicated by lack of awareness by teachers, fear of the subject as such, low motivation by teachers to assign the topic to an instructional programme, lack of equipment and other problems. On the basis of these considerations, we have cooperated with teachers and offered a seminar on ED and aggregate materials for use when working with students in the prevention of ED. A total of 122 persons were trained, involving 105 schools mainly in Prague and the Central Bohemian region. Over 4,000 students were addressed for periods that totalled more than 600 hours of tuition. Simultaneously, we observed the participating teachers' acquaintance with the subject and methods of tutition in the schools involved. |
