饮食失调(EDS)通常与苗条、白人、富裕的妇女和女孩有关。教育部门刻板印象的一个结果是相对缺乏对边缘化社区的教育部门研究。这项研究的目的是复制最近的发现，表明食品不安全(FI)的严重程度与ED病理增加之间存在关联。参与者包括一家城市食品银行的891名客户。结果与以前的研究结果一致；最严重的FI组的参与者报告了显著更高的ED病理、饮食限制、焦虑和抑郁水平。调查结果进一步证明，瘦削、白人、富裕的女性ED刻板印象提供了一幅有缺陷的肖像，并突出表明需要进行更多的心理学研究，重点放在边缘人群上，以解决获得护理方面的差距。学者和临床医生都需要摆脱关于谁有或没有发展成ED的风险的刻板印象。
Eating disorders (EDs) are stereotypically associated with thin, White, affluent women and girls. One result of the ED stereotype has been a relative dearth of ED research with marginalized communities. The aim of this study was to replicate recent findings showing an association between the severity of food insecurity (FI) and increased ED pathology. Participants included 891 clients of an urban food bank. Results were consistent with the findings of previous research; participants in the most severe FI group reported significantly higher levels of ED pathology, dietary restraint, anxiety, and depression. Findings provide further evidence that the thin, White, affluent, female ED stereotype offers a flawed portrait and highlight the need for additional psychological research that focuses on marginalized populations to address disparities in access to care. Both scholars and clinicians need to move away from the stereotypical portrait of who is and is not at risk for developing an ED.
