Abstract Young adult lesbian women are twice as likely to be overweight and obese as their heterosexual peers and Black women are similarly more likely to be obese than White women. These minority women are thus more prone to obesity-related comorbidities including heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, which are leading causes of death in the U.S. Binge eating behaviors (overeating, loss of control of eating) contribute to obesity and are particularly prevalent in young adult women. Despite well documented disparities in binge eating, little is known about contributing factors in lesbian women, and in particular racial minorities. In studies of young women where sexual orientation is not known, assessed, or reported (hereafter referred to as general samples), research demonstrates binge eating is associated with affective states, social processes, and health behaviors. Studies by our group and others using mobile technology-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) have examined how daily affective and social experiences influence young women's eating in everyday life. These studies were conducted with general samples of primarily White women; how affective states, social processes, and health behaviors in daily life impact lesbian women's binge eating remains unclear. Consistent with minority stress theories, preliminary data also suggest sexual minority stress – or the stress people from stigmatized groups are exposed to due to their marginalized social status – likely influences binge eating in lesbian women, but the role of unique minority experiences in binge eating has not been examined using EMA. Race, eating-related factors, and sexual minority-specific factors may also moderate daily associations, but have not been fully explored. In particular, implications of having intersecting sexual- and racial-minority identities (i.e., being a Black lesbian women) on binge eating have yet to be considered. To address these limitations in the binge eating and sexual minority literatures, the proposed study examines affective, social, health behavior, and sexual minority-specific factors associated with binge eating in natural settings. Young adult lesbian (n=150, 50 Black) and heterosexual (n=150, 50 Black) women ages 18-30 who engage in binge eating behavior will complete brief smartphone-based EMA surveys five times daily and in response to binge behaviors for two weeks. Study aims include examining how daily affective, social, and health behavior factors impact lesbian women's eating, and how sexual minority-specific experiences uniquely contribute to binge eating in daily life. We will also explore how race moderates these associations. The EMA design allows examination of daily processes in natural settings, and including racially diverse lesbian and heterosexual women allows identification of factors that contribute to disparities. This study fills research gaps by expanding understanding of general and sexual minority-specific factors that contribute to binge eating in daily life, and the role of race in these associations. Such information is critical for informing the development of culturally tailored interventions for lesbian women, with the ultimate goal of reducing binge eating and obesity disparities.

摘要 年轻的成年女同性恋超重和肥胖的可能性是她们的异性恋同龄人的两倍 同样，黑人女性比白人女性更容易肥胖。因此，这些少数民族妇女更多的是 容易患上与肥胖相关的并发症，包括心脏病、中风和2型糖尿病，这些疾病是 美国人的死亡原因暴饮暴食行为(暴饮暴食、饮食失控)导致肥胖 在年轻的成年女性中尤为普遍。尽管暴饮暴食的差异得到了很好的证明，但几乎没有 已知女同性恋者，特别是少数族裔的致病因素。在对年轻人的研究中 性取向不为人所知、评估或报告的妇女(以下称为一般情况 样本)，研究表明暴饮暴食与情感状态、社交过程和健康有关 行为。我们团队和其他人使用基于移动技术的生态瞬时评估进行的研究 (EMA)调查了日常情感和社会经历如何影响年轻女性每天的饮食 生活。这些研究主要是在白人女性的总体样本中进行的；情感状态、社会 日常生活中的过程、健康行为对女同性恋者暴饮暴食的影响尚不清楚。一致 根据少数民族压力理论，初步数据还表明，性少数民族压力--或人们来自 被污名化的群体由于被边缘化的社会地位而暴露在风险之中--可能会影响到在 女同性恋女性，但独特的少数民族经历在暴饮暴食中的作用尚未通过EMA进行检验。 种族，与饮食有关的因素，以及特定于少数民族的性别因素也可能缓和日常联系，但 还没有得到充分的探索。特别是，交叉性少数和种族少数的影响 暴饮暴食的身份(即黑人女同性恋者)尚未被考虑。要解决这些问题 在暴饮暴食和性少数文学的局限性下，这项拟议的研究考察了情感，社交， 健康行为，以及与自然环境中暴饮暴食有关的性少数群体特有因素。年青的 成年女同性恋者(n=150，50黑人)和异性恋者(n=150，50黑人)，年龄在18-30岁之间 饮食行为将每天完成五次基于智能手机的简短EMA调查，以回应暴饮暴食 两周内的行为。研究目的包括检查日常情感、社交和健康行为因素 影响女同性恋者的饮食，以及性少数群体特有的经历如何独一无二地促成狂欢 日常生活中的饮食。我们还将探索种族如何缓和这些联系。EMA设计允许 检查自然环境中的日常过程，包括不同种族的女同性恋者和异性恋 妇女可以确定造成不平等的因素。这项研究通过扩展研究填补了研究空白 了解在日常生活中导致暴饮暴食的一般和性别少数群体特有的因素，以及 种族在这些协会中的作用。这样的信息对于通知文化的发展至关重要 为女同性恋妇女量身定做的干预措施，最终目标是减少暴饮暴食和肥胖差距。
