Description

Catherine R. Drury and coauthors published a 2026 study of unfair gaps in eating disorder care across social groups. Shut-out groups face higher eating disorder risk and steeper barriers to care, yet clinic samples are rarely read across group lines at once. The sample held 3,016 adult women treated at partner United States sites for varied forms of the illness.

Patients filled in a standard eating disorder survey at intake and discharge. Race, ethnic group, and sexual orientation came from the patients themselves, while area poverty stood in for social and money status. Layered models tested how illness depth at entry and gains by discharge varied across combined groups. The authors look for stacked disadvantage that one-factor checks would hide, with the goal of showing treatment programs exactly where results lag.
