Adaptations of an online cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention for binge type eating disorders in publicly-insured and uninsured adults
This study was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University California, San Francisco (IRB #22-35936) and the IRB at Washington University in St. Louis (IRB ID 202304167)
Disparities in mental health symptoms among sexual and gender diverse subgroups in a national sample of college students
Mental health disparities experienced by sexual and gender diverse (SGD) young adults are well documented. Yet, few studies have examined mental health disparities between SGD subgroups. Even fewer have investigated disparities that may exist for individuals whose SGD identities are nonmonosexual (i.e., diverse sexual orientations besides gay/lesbian) or gender nonbinary, who may experience exacerbated marginalization and disparities. The present…
Exploring Social Media Recruitment Strategies and Preliminary Acceptability of an mHealth Tool for Teens with Eating Disorders
(1) Background: The current study leveraged social media to connect with teens with EDs to identify population specific characteristics and to gather feedback on an mHealth intervention. (2) Methods: We recruited teens with EDs from social media in two phases: (1) Discovery Group, (2) Testing Group. The Discovery Group ( n = 14) participants were recruited from Facebook/Instagram and were asked to review the app for up to one week and provide qua…
Digital Overload among College Students
Mental health phone applications (apps) provide cost-effective, easily accessible support for college students, yet long-term engagement is often low. Digital overload, defined as information burden from technological devices, may contribute to disengagement from mental health apps. This study aimed to explore the influence of digital overload and phone use preferences on mental health app use among college students, with the goal of informing ho…
Body-, Eating-, and Exercise-Related Comparisons During Eating Disorder Recovery and Validation of the Beecom-R
Social comparison tendencies are strongly associated with body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. In the current study, we quantitatively examined the structure and predictive value of these constructs during eating disorder recovery. We revised an existing measure of body-, eating-, and exercise-related social comparisons, the Body, Eating, and Exercise Comparison Orientation Measure (BEECOM), to improve psychometric properties. We also asse…
Examining Prospective Mediation Models of Body Surveillance, Trait Anxiety, and Body Dissatisfaction in African American and Caucasian College Women
Examining social physique anxiety and disordered eating in college women. The roles of social comparison and body surveillance
One Man's Death
In this anthropological study, five individual discussions about the death of a family member are woven into a single ethnographic account. The data are analyzed to discover whether euphemisms or metaphors are employed when describing the death. The premise upon which the conclusions are based is that euphemisms supply an inexact description of happenings and processes, whereas metaphors which describe one domain of experience in terms of another…
