本研究的目的是调查西班牙裔、亚裔、黑人和白人女性社区样本中的饮食失调、文化适应和寻求治疗情况。参与者包括 118 名饮食失调的女性（49 名西班牙裔、21 名亚裔、23 名黑人和 25 名白人）和 118 名健康对照者。进行访谈是为了评估饮食和体重相关行为、精神症状、文化适应和医疗保健使用情况。结果表明，这四个种族群体出现贪食症、厌食症或暴食症行为症状的可能性相同。西班牙裔最有可能使用利尿剂，黑人女性最有可能使用泻药。尽管饮食失调人群存在心理困扰，但在过去一年中只有一小部分人接受了治疗；饮食失调组比对照组更有可能报告他们被拒绝接受治疗。文化程度越高的人更有可能出现饮食问题，而在饮食失调人群中，文化程度较低的人接受治疗的可能性较小。
The purpose of this study was to examine disordered eating, acculturation, and treatment-seeking in a community sample of Hispanic, Asian, Black, and White women. Participants were 118 women with disordered eating (49 Hispanic, 21 Asian, 23 Black, and 25 White) and 118 healthy controls. Interviews were conducted to assess eating and weight-related behaviors, psychiatric symptoms, acculturation, and health care usage. Results indicated that the four ethnic groups were equally likely to present behavioral symptoms of bulimia, anorexia, or a binge-eating disorder. Hispanics were the most likely to use diuretics, and Black women were the most likely to use laxatives. Despite psychological distress among the eating disorder group, only a small percentage had received treatment during the past year; the eating disorder group was more likely than the controls to report that they had been denied treatment. More acculturated individuals were more likely to suffer from eating problems, and among the eating disorder group, less acculturated individuals were less likely to have received treatment.
