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.
Independent Study Course
SBS 300: Independent Study in Eating Disorders Prevention: A Strategy Incubator
At the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, we offer the Spring semester independent study course SBS 300 “Independent Study in Eating Disorders Prevention: A Strategy Incubator,” which provides mentorship from STRIPED faculty to help students generate novel, transdisciplinary strategies to prevent eating disorders and the spectrum of disordered weight- and shape-control behaviors. Students work closely with Dr. Bryn Austin to develop innovative approaches for prevention that expand beyond the bounds of current thinking in the field.
