Abstract: In this presentation, we will highlight eating disorders in Black Americans, from increased risk of binge-eating disorder, lack of access to diagnosis and treatment and cultural aspects that impact care. In addition, the presenters will expand on the issue to further clarify the factors affecting these disparate outcomes. An exploration of the environmental issues that create barriers to accessing healthcare, including cost, the impact of social media, and community acceptance, will also occur. Finally, the presenters will explore policy and community strategies to reduce bias in our mental health treatment systems and create equitable systems for all.
