Abstract:	Qualitative studies examining gender differences (GD) of eating disorder preventionprogrammes are scarce. We aimed to evaluate GD in adolescents who participated in a larger study on effectiveness of a disordered eating prevention programme. Perceptions of eating, female and male aesthetic models, media influences, prevention programmes and emerging topics from 12 school-going boys who received a media-literacy programme (n=4), medialiteracy plus nutrition-awareness programme (n=4) or neither (n=4) were explored using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and compared with previous results in girls. Findings suggest that the prevention programme is effective for both genders. GD and consumer-culture influences may be considered in future interventions.
