Disparities in eating disorder risk and diagnosis among sexual minority college students: Findings from the National Healthy Minds study
International Journal of Eating Disorders Sep 04, 2020
Hazzard VM, Simone M, Borg SL, et al. - Researchers investigated how eating disorder (ED) risk (≥ 2 on the SCOFF) and diagnosis differ by sexual orientation in a national sample of college students. They analyzed data from 178 US colleges and universities engaging in the Healthy Minds Study between 2016 and 2019 (36,691 cisgender men, 81,730 cisgender women; 15.7% self‐identifying as sexual minorities). Outcomes suggest higher vulnerability among questioning and bisexual individuals; they may experience raised ED risk relative to their heterosexual peers yet underdiagnosis relative to their gay or lesbian peers.
