Assignment 1: Eating Disorders
Cultures idealizing thinness, pressure from peers to fit in, and
constant images of bodily perfection shown by mass media, along
with additional physiological and psychological factors, can
combine to create the perfect storm for adolescents struggling
with eating disorders. For this Assignment, choose one peerreviewed research study about eating disorders that focuses on a
minority group of adolescents. Consider connections between
physiological development, adolescence, and eating disorders.
· Submit a 2-page paper for which you articulate a position on
eating disorders in adolescent girls from diverse racial and
cultural experiences.
· Explain how the position is related to the biological and/or
physiological development as well as psychological development
of adolescent girls.
· Further, explain how such findings can inform evidence-based
social work practice.
· Please use the Learning Resources and the research study you
identified to support your answer
