"I'm not white, I have to be pretty and skinny": a qualitative exploration of body image and eating disorders among Asian American women.
The authors examined the relationships between body image, eating disorders, and treatment-seeking motivations among Asian American women ages 18-24. Using focus groups, they developed a model to be utilized by practitioners or clinicians to help obtain a better understanding of the societal, interpersonal, and intrapersonal forces that may shape conceptualizations about body image and eating behaviors among Asian American women. In addition, findings from this study can be incorporated into prevention programs and interventions that focus on mental health among this population.
