Abstract
:

Black individuals are at risk for developing eating disorders (EDs), while also facing an increased mental health burden as a marginalized group. However, few studies have examined whether treatment-seeking Black individuals with EDs present with different symptom profiles than White individuals. This study sought to characterize baseline ED symptomatology in Black participants with bulimia nervosa spectrum or binge eating disorder spectrum pathology compared to White participants in a treatment-seeking sample.
