Check out “Sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents’ disordered eating: Exploring general and SGM-specific factors” which has just been published in International Journal of Eating Disorders!

This study compared how general and SGM-specific factors uniquely relate to disordered eating among SGM adolescents using a national sample. It was found that for SM and GM adolescents, depressive symptoms and the stress of coming out were generally associated with higher odds of clinical threshold disordered eating, whereas self-esteem, positive feelings about SGM identity, and openness about SGM identity were generally associated with lower odds of clinical threshold disordered eating.
