    Introducción. El objetivo de esta investigación ha sido evaluar el programa de prevención escolar Mi cuerpo y yo. El programa fue desarrollado para que los niños y niñas fueran mejor preparados de cara a los cambios inevitables de la pubertad.

    Método. Para este estudio se empleó un modelo de grupo experimental y grupo control en colegios de Alemania y Francia; hubo 25 clases experimentales y 17 clases de control (484 niños y 485 niñas; edad media de 10,5 años); se midieron los cambios entre pretest y postest.

    Resultados: En comparación con las clases de control, las clases experimentales muestran un incremento significativo de conocimiento (tamaño de efecto = 0.89), una reducción en la insatisfacción con su cuerpo (TE = 0.12), y en la preocupación por la forma corporal (TE = 0.11), así como un alejamiento del ideal de un cuerpo delgado (SE = 0.13).

    Discusión y Conclusiones. Los resultados de esta investigación sugieren que el Programa Mi cuerpo y yo es eficaz para la reducción de la insatisfacción corporal en niños y niñas de cuarto y quinto curso de Educación Primaria.

    Introduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the school-based “My Body and I” program which was designed to help girls and boys to cope better with inevitable pubertal body changes.

    Method. Using a pre-post treatment-control design with 25 treatment and 17 control classes from schools in Germany and France (484 boys, 485 girls; mean age: 10.5 years), changes were measured between a pretest and a posttest.

    Results. Compared with the control condition, students in the treatment condition exhibited a significant increase in knowledge (effect size = 0.89), a decrease in body dissatisfaction (ES = 0.12), body shape concerns (ES = 0.11), and a shift away from the thin ideal (ES = 0.13).

    Discussion and Conclusion. The findings suggest that “My Body and I” is an effective primary prevention program reducing the risk for body dissatisfaction among 4th and 5th graders.
