Examining problem drinking and eating disorders from a gendered perspective.
The two studies presented here examined the relationship between problem drinking and eating disorders in college students. Although there was little evidence of a concurrent relationship between the two, there were differences related to gender. In addition, there were differences between women who were and were not sorority members with respect to problem drinking, but not eating disorders. The value of addressing these problems from a gendered perspective is discussed.
