Eating disorders among women receiving treatment for an alcohol problem.
To evaluate the frequency of eating disorder features among women receiving treatment for an alcohol problem, 52 female attenders at an alcohol clinic were assessed using a standardized research clinical interview, and the findings compared with data on a general population sample. The results suggest that eating disorder features are overrepresented among women who present for treatment for an alcohol problem.
