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 Karen Moynagh Health Analyst Halton Region Health Department [log in to unmask] (905) 825-6060 x7518
