“…These findings were also comparable to a recent study among undergraduate and post graduate students found that men with overweight had greater eating disorder risk (males OR=3.5; females OR=2.0), binge eating (males OR=2.1; females OR=1.9), and use of compensatory behaviors (males OR=1.5; females OR=1.3). (27) Surprisingly, in this study 9.3% of men reported severe depression compared to 5.5% in women. However, this difference was no significant.…”

“…Descriptive statistics overall and by racial/ethnic group are presented Table . Prevalence estimates of LOC eating (29.7%), purging behaviors (6.6%), and compensatory exercise (38.7%) in our sample appeared comparable to prior work with undergraduates (e.g., Eisenberg, Nicklett, Roeder, & Kirz, ; Lipson & Sonneville, ; Luce et al, ). In the overall sample, PC and PE were correlated at r = .67, r 2 = .45, p < .001, and ranged from r = .56 (Black women) to .73 (White women); all p s < .001.…”

Objective This study examined the associations between parent‐oriented dimensions of perfectionism (parental expectations [PE] and parental criticism [PC]) and eating disorder (ED) symptomatology across racial/ethnic groups. It was hypothesized that parent‐oriented perfectionism would be positively associated with ED symptomatology for White and Asian American women. Method Undergraduate women (N = 1,173) completed questionnaires assessing perfectionism, EDs, and demographics. One‐way analyses of variance tested differences in PE and PC across racial/ethnic groups; post‐hoc Tukey tests probed significant differences. Multiple linear regressions assessed associations between parent‐oriented perfectionism and ED symptomatology. Hurdle models tested the association between PE and PC and the frequency and odds of endorsing ED symptomatology. Results There were significant group differences in PE and PC. PE was positively linked with various ED symptoms in Latina, Asian American, and multiracial women, and was negatively related to purging in multiracial women. PC was positively associated with body dissatisfaction in White, Black, and multiracial women, but displayed differential associations with ED symptomatology in all racial/ethnic groups. Discussion Levels of parent‐oriented dimensions of perfectionism, and their relations to ED symptomatology, might vary across racial/ethnic groups. PE, in particular, is both more elevated, and more strongly linked to eating pathology in Asian American women, whereas PC appears to be especially relevant to ED symptoms in Black women. Findings underscore the importance of considering the role of culture in ED symptomatology. Clinicians and researchers might consider incorporating assessments of parent‐oriented perfectionism into their practice.

“…Findings must be interpreted in the context of the fact that students self‐selected to participate in HBI, which likely explains the greater risk level relative to some other work. For example, a population‐level study of ED symptoms at 12 U.S. colleges and universities found that prevalence of possible EDs ranged from 12–40% depending on the ED definition utilized (e.g., ED psychopathology, past month binge‐eating, or past month compensatory behaviors) (Lipson & Sonneville, ). The finding that ED risk was elevated in the current study is important as it suggests that the HBI screen attracts students with elevated ED pathology.…”

Objective The Internet‐based Healthy Body Image (HBI) Program, which uses online screening to identify individuals at low risk of, high risk of, or with an eating disorder (ED) and then directs users to tailored, evidence‐based online or in‐person interventions to address individuals' risk or clinical status, was deployed at 28 U.S. universities as part of a randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this study is to report on: (a) reach of HBI, (b) screen results, and (c) differences across ED status groups. Method All students on participating campuses ages 18 years or older were eligible, although recruitment primarily targeted undergraduate females. Results The screen was completed 4,894 times, with an average of 1.9% of the undergraduate female student body on each campus taking the screen. ED risk in participating students was high—nearly 60% of students screened were identified as being at high risk for ED onset or having an ED. Key differences emerged across ED status groups on demographics, recruitment method, ED pathology, psychiatric comorbidity, and ED risk factors, highlighting increasing pathology and impairment in the high‐risk group. Discussion Findings suggest efforts are needed to increase reach of programs like HBI. Results also highlight the increasing pathology and impairment in the high‐risk group and the importance of programs such as HBI, which provide access to timely screening and intervention to prevent onset of clinical EDs.
