An Integrated Feminist Approach to Disordered Eating Intervention in a University Campus Outpatient Setting

Where’s the LGBT in integrated care research? A systematic review.

“…Three of the studies described community outreach events that combined sexually transmitted illness (STI) testing (medical) with depression and substance use disorder screening and case management (behavioral; Blank, Gallagher, Washburn, & Rogers, 2005; Woods, Samples, Mechiono, Harris, & Boston HAPPENS Program Collaborators 2003; Woods et al, 2002). One study examined the qualitative outcomes of the treatment of undergraduate and graduate student women suffering from bulimia after receiving services from an integrated care eating disorder treatment program offering nutrition (medical) and couple and family therapy (behavioral; Carolan, Bak, Hoppe-Rooney, & Burns-Jager, 2010). Two of the studies examined intervention for patients diagnosed with HIV.…”

“…Another study looked at another community event targeting MSM and promoting STI testing and mental health screening (Blank et al, 2005). Three of the studies (Carolan et al, 2010;Ferron et al, 2010) included a single transgender woman in their samples and offered recommendations for care, although Ferron et al (2010) largely focused on the medical aspects of transitioning (e.g., the interaction of alcohol with medication) in their clinical outcomes section. Most notably, seven of the eight articles focused on outcomes related to STI and substance use screening, prevention, and treatment (Blank et al, 2005;Carolan et al, 2010;Ferron et al, 2010;Harris et al, 2003;Proeschold-Bell et al, 2010;Woods et al, 2002Woods et al, , 2003.…”

Table 2 details the characteristics of each study, and Table 3 describes the patient and provider experience, as well as study implications for LGBT patients.…”

“…However, 2,116 of the 6,050 were the same participants in two analyses (Woods et al, 2002(Woods et al, , 2003. Only three transgender individuals were specifically included in total (Carolan et al, 2010;Ferron et al, 2010;Proeschold-Bell et al, 2010).…”

“…The studies ranged in methodology and rigor, thus limiting the implications that could be drawn collectively from the results of the studies. Several of the studies did not include relevant implications or outcomes for the LGBT individuals in their samples (Carolan et al, 2010;Proeschold-Bell et al, 2010). Overall, for the studies that did address LGBT health directly, they seemed to point to the complexity of health and well-being for LGBT populations as it intersects with biological, psychological, and social outcomes (Ferron et al, 2010;Harris et al, 2003;Woods et al, 2002Woods et al, , 2003.…”
