Lack of representation of marginalized people in eating disorder research and care isn’t just misleading - it’s dangerous and clinically irresponsible. This is just one example of the ways in which standardized portrayals of people with eating disorders can do massive harm.

If you’re interested in learning more about the care and treatment of eating disorders for marginalized communities, you can find me at www.marcellaedtraining.com - I offer workshops and trainings for care providers in a variety of clinical settings!

[ID: Text graphic on a maroon background with a light cloth-like texture. A large gray circle extends from the right side of the image, and it contains the following text: “Young women with specific physical disabilities have been found to experience high rates of both anorexia and bulimia. Despite these findings, physical disabilities are often mistakenly seen as a protective factor against eating disorders, with disabled people less likely to undergo screenings or receive diagnoses.” The text is attributed to Gross S.M., Ireys H.T., and Kinsman S.L (2000). A pale yellow circle extends into the image from the upper left corner, and a yellow strip across the bottom contains the name Marcella Raimondo, PhD, MPH. End description.]
