• PsychINFO (a database <strong>of</strong> psychological literature)<br />

• PubMed (provides access to citations from Medline and Embase)<br />

• AMED<br />

• The cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (Cinahl)<br />

• Cochrane Library<br />

• ERIC<br />

Inclusion and exclusion criteria<br />

A set <strong>of</strong> criteria was applied in order to evaluate the papers yielded from the literature<br />

search. The number <strong>of</strong> hits for each database searched was <strong>of</strong>ten large so had to be<br />

restricted by applying ‘disordered eating’ in ‘adolescence’ to specify the age group <strong>of</strong><br />

interest.<br />

The following keywords were used in the searches conducted with each <strong>of</strong> the above<br />

databases:<br />

Disordered eating in adolescence<br />

Body image in adolescence<br />

Experiential avoidance<br />

Cognitive fusion<br />

Acceptance and Commitment theory<br />

Excluded studies that were not reported in English<br />
