Hello

I am currently working on a project that looks at the relationship between
body image and risk taking behaviors (in particular smoking and substance
abuse).  I am wondering if anyone knows of any research that looks at this
relationship.  I am also wondering if anyone knows of any programs which try
to reduce risk taking behaviors by improving body image.  If such programs
exist, do you know if these programs have been evaluated?  I would also
welcome names of anyone I could contact to discuss this project.

Thanks

Karen
