We review relevant factors and barriers to care for binge-eating disorder (BED) in Black women. We examine evidence for the treatment of BED and provide recommendations to improve cultural relevance for assessing and treating BED in Black women. BED is the most common eating disorder among Black women. Moreover, evidence supports alternative factors that contribute to the onset of BED in Black women, including stress, trauma, and food insecurity. Furthermore, though there are evidence-based treatments for BED, disparities persist in access to care and treatment retention. Recommendations for increasing the cultural relevance of assessments and treatments are provided. Gaps in the literature remain on the use of evidence-based treatments for BED among Black women. As such, healthcare providers should include Black women as co-collaborators in their care and seek out training and consultation to aid in providing culturally affirming treatment.
