Clinical presentation of body-focused repetitive behaviors in minority ethnic groups

Abstract: Background Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as trichotillomania and skin picking disorder, are psychiatric disorders characterized by repetitive grooming that result in hair loss or excoriations. Questions remain as to whether there are racial/ethnic differences in the clinical presentation of BFRBs. Methods We recruited 539 adults with DSM-5 trichotillomania or skin picking disorder. Of these, 76 (14.1%) self-identified as Black, Asian, or Minority Ethni… Show more

“…BFRBs like trichotillomania (hair pulling) and dermatillomania (skin picking) are disorders characterized by excessive grooming, leading to hair loss or excoriations, as well as causing clinically significant impairment or distress (Grant et al, 2021). The majority of research around BFRBs sits within the psychological sciences.…”

“…This study asked participants to complete a hair-pulling survey and the Multidimensional Inventory of Racial Identity, which assesses racial identity across the dimensions of centrality, regard and ideology. In a cross-sectional study, Grant et al (2021) found that minorities reported lower levels of receiving treatment for BFRBs, and higher levels of time spent picking or pulling compared to non-minorities. To fully understand BFRBs in Black women, race and socio-cultural dynamics must be investigated.…”

“…When it comes to the Latine community, there is less of an understanding of trichotillomania patterns, treatment utilization, and treatment effectiveness. Clinical profiles of trichotillomania in an adult Hispanic population share similarities to Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) (Grant et al, 2021). More specifically, Grant et al (2021) found no significant differences between groups of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) in symptom severity, quality of life, or type of body focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs).…”

More specifically, Grant et al (2021) found no significant differences between groups of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) in symptom severity, quality of life, or type of body focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). In a recent study, researchers noted characteristics and treatment seeking behaviors of an adult Hispanic population but the sample also included those with a skin picking disorder (Valle et al, 2022).…”
