Development and preliminary validation of the Pressure To Lose Pregnancy-related Weight scale (PLPW) in U.S. military active-duty Service women
Several theoretical models highlight the importance of appearance-based pressures to conform to sociocultural body ideals in the development and maintenance of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. Qualitative data suggest that perinatal women experience significant pressure to lose pregnancy-related weight, yet there is no validated quantitative measure of appearance-based sociocultural pressures during pregnancy. This pressure may be espe…
Good for men, but not for me: A qualitative study of factors preventing men from seeking psychological treatment for their binge-spectrum eating disorders
Prescription weight loss medication use and eating disorder psychopathology among adolescent boys and young men from Canada and the United States
This study aimed to identify the prevalence of prescription weight loss medication use among boys and men, describe the sociodemographic differences between those who did and did not report use, and explore differences in eating disorder attitudes and behaviors between those who did and did not report use. Data from 1543 boys and men from Canada and the United States aged 15 to 35 were analyzed. The prevalence of prescription weight loss medicati…

Community norms of the Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (Epsi) in transgender and gender-diverse adults
Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals are at a higher risk for eating disorders, yet existing community norms for many eating disorder measures predominantly derive from cisgender populations. This study aimed to establish community norms for the Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (EPSI) among TGD adults (Forbush et al., 2013). The sample included 1206 gender-diverse people, 599 transgender men, and 293 transgender women from The PRID…
Association of body mass index with progression from binge-eating behavior into binge-eating disorder among adolescents in the United States: A prospective analysis of pooled data
The association between body mass index (BMI) and binge-eating disorder (BED) is well-established. However, data on the extent to which BMI is associated with progression from binge-eating behavior into BED among adolescents are limited, which was the aim of this investigation. Participants were 9964 U.S. adolescents from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, aged 9-13 at the time of study enrollment. A computerized parent-repo…
Facets of Impulsivity in Relation to Diet Quality and Physical Activity in Adolescence
Although the construct of impulsivity has generally been found to be associated with obesity and health behaviors in adults, research among adolescents is more limited and studies have yet to elucidate which facets of impulsivity may be most salient with regard to different eating and physical activity behaviors. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study assessed facets of impulsivity, measured by the UPPS-P questionnaire, in relation to healt…
Longitudinal Prospective Association between Hedonic Hunger and Unhealthy Food and Drink Intake in Adolescents
Hedonic hunger (i.e., extreme responsiveness to food) has been associated with obesity and poor diet, but findings in the existing literature have primarily been cross-sectional. The current study examined hedonic hunger as a prospective predictor of the longitudinal trajectory of unhealthy food and drink intake across adolescence. Ninth grade students from Los Angeles area high schools (analyzed sample N = 3268) completed paper-and-pencil survey…
Associations between Family Weight-Based Teasing, Eating Pathology, and Psychosocial Functioning among Adolescent Military Dependents
Weight-based teasing (WBT) by family members is commonly reported among youth and is associated with eating and mood-related psychopathology. Military dependents may be particularly vulnerable to family WBT and its sequelae due to factors associated with their parents' careers, such as weight and fitness standards and an emphasis on maintaining one's military appearance; however, no studies to date have examined family WBT and its associations wi…
