Pregnancy: outcome and impact on symptomatology in a cohort of eating-disordered women

Article Abstract:

A new study investigates both the impact of pregnancy on women with eating disorders and the impact of eating disorders on pregnant women. It is shown that women with bulimia nervosa experience a decrease in symptoms during their pregnancy, continuing nine months after birth. Women with anorexia nervosa also experience significant reductions in symptoms while pregnant but these only last for six months after birth.

Secondary prevention for eating disorders: the impact of education, screening, and referral in a college-based screening program

Article Abstract:

Educational and screening programs may be a promising strategy for secondary prevention of eating disorder, as suggested by the results of a study to assess the impact of the first National Eating Disorders Screening Program (NEDSP) on participants in the U.S. The awareness of the risks of disordered eating and available treatment may not be sufficient to motivate individuals to adhere to recommendations to seek treatment.
