在过去的三十年里，有一个在非洲裔美国青少年中的饮食失调现象的实证调查的数量增加。尽管努力了解种族/民族差异，相对较少的饮食失调模型解决重要的社会文化因素，发挥强大的影响力的信念和行为有关的体重状况和饮食模式，在这个人群。然而，研究人员必须具备文化能力，以便开发适当的模型。因此，我们提出了一种方法来发展研究人员的文化能力，解决潜在的障碍，可能会阻碍努力探索相关的，文化上适当的因素，有助于饮食失调的非洲裔美国女孩。在这方面，我们强调了综合合作的重要性，可以帮助识别和探索可能导致模型生成的潜在风险因素。我们认为，这些信息将导致制定文化上适当的评估、模式，并最终制定干预措施。
Over the past three decades, there has been an increase in the number of empirical investigations of the phenomenology of eating disorders among African-American adolescents. Despite efforts to understand racial/ethnic differences, relatively few eating disorder models address the important sociocultural factors that exert powerful influences on beliefs and behaviours related to weight status and eating patterns in this population. Nevertheless, researchers must be culturally competent in order to develop appropriate models. Therefore, we propose an approach to developing researcher cultural competence by addressing potential barriers that may hinder efforts to explore relevant, culturally appropriate factors that contribute to eating disturbance in African-American girls. In this regard, we highlight the importance of integrative collaboration that can assist in identification and exploration of potential risk factors that may lead to model generation. We believe that such information will lead to the development of culturally appropriate assessments, models, and, ultimately, interventions.
