Relationship between body image and stimulant use among Canadian adolescents.
This study investigated the relationship between body image, dieting, disordered eating behaviors, and stimulant use in a sample of more than 30,000 British Columbian students. For both males and females, significant associations were found between stimulant use and body satisfaction, binging and purging, and efforts to lose weight.
