Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders (STRIPED)
Our initiative is a public health incubator, designed to cultivate novel insights and strategies for prevention. We introduce trainees to a rich array of disciplinary perspectives, methodologies, and theories and provide them with opportunities to join crosscutting collaborative teams.
STRIPED Youth Corps
The mission of the STRIPED Youth Corps is to train the next generation of youth leaders to harness the power of their advocacy and research to address eating disorders and related problems with food, weight, and appearance. We strive to create a society where girls, boys, and people of all genders can grow up at home in their own bodies.
STRIPED has been collaborating with youth on STRIPED initiatives, including our policy translation efforts to ban the sale of over-the-counter diet pills and muscle-building supplements to minors. Check out the STRIPED Youth Corps team below.
