Melissa in the Morning: Eating Disorder Awareness
Feb 29, 02:45 PM
According to national statistics, an estimated 9% of the U.S. population will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. This week (Feb. 26-Mar 3) is Eating Disorder Awareness Week and there are a lot of misconceptions around the topic. We tackle the truth about the issue and how to get help with Quinnipiac associate professor, Clotilde Dudley-Smith.
Dudley-Smith has presented at the National Teaching Professors Conference on Education and Prevention of Eating Disorders in College Students. She has written for peer-reviewed journals on the topic of anorexia nervosa and risk of exercise. She received grant funding for Interdisciplinary research on eating disorders. The grant enabled research on the education and prevention of eating disorders in college students. She has also been a member and co-leader of the education division of the International Association of Eating Disorders’ Connecticut chapter.
