Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Targeting adolescents >15 years of age is more effective as they are at higher risk for developing eating disorders. Programs that target younger children may not be as effective in preventing eating disorders. Additionally, research has shown that targeted interventions with specific age groups can be more successful in changing behavior than broad interventions that target everyone.
