ATHENA (Athletes Targeting Healthy Exercise & Nutrition Alternatives)

The ATHENA (Athletes Targeting Healthy Exercise & Nutrition Alternatives) program uses a school-based, team-centered format that aims to reduce disordered eating habits and deter use of body-shaping substances among middle and high school female athletes. The intervention includes a balanced presentation concerning the consequences of substance use and other unhealthy behaviors and the beneficial effects of appropriate sport nutrition and effective exercise training. In addition to its learning goals related to nutrition, ATHENA incorporates cognitive restructuring appropriate to a sport team setting to address mood-related risk factors for diet pill use.
