THE BATTAll
Anorexia among black women now under jcrutiny
NEWS IN BRIEF
By Shannah Tharp-Taylor
KRT CAMPUS
CHICAGO — In many ways, Stephanie Doswell is
your regular college student in a T-shirt and flare-legged
jeans. But she is also anorexic, bulimic and African-
American, a combination so rare that it sometimes goes
unrecognized.
"If someone sees a sickly, thin white person, they
automatically think that they have anorexia," said
Doswell, 19. "If someone sees a sickly, thin black per
son, they don't think that they have anorexia."
She adds sarcastically: "Because blacks don't get
anorexia."
Anorexia has been thought of as a disease affecting
rich, white females since the 1940s because it primarily
affects girls from well-to-do Caucasian families.
Recent studies seem to confirm that black anorexics
are extremely hard to find. Last month Ruth Striegel-
Moore of Wesleyan University in Connecticut reported
in the American Journal of Psychiatry that although
anorexia is believed to affect 1 percent to 2 percent of
the general population, none of the 1,061 young black
women in their study was anorexic.
But many experts doubt that black anorexics are as
rare as studies have suggested, though experts are left
guessing at how prevalent the disease is in minorities.
Traditionally, African-American girls have been
thought to have some protection from eating disorders
such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa because
of a greater acceptance of larger body size in the
African-American community, said Gayle Brooks, an
African-American psychologist specializing in eating
disorders at the Renfrew Center in Florida.
But this alleged protection from eating disorders
appears to weaken as blacks take on the values of the
mainstream culture. Brooks says.
“I think that there are a lot of African-American
women who are really struggling with their sense of per
sonal identity and self-esteem that comes with being a
part of this culture that does not accept who we really
are,” Brooks said.
For years anorexia (characterized by refusal to eat
enough) and bulimia (characterized by binge eating and
purging) was only studied in white females, leaving
gaps in medical knowledge about eating disorders and
how they affect minorities.
For example, experts are not sure whether black girls
from high-income families are more likely than their
poorer counterparts to develop eating disorders, as is
believed to be the case for white girls.
Striegel-Moore acknowledges that her study may
have underestimated the number of blacks with anorex
ia nervosa because she had too few girls from affluent
black families.
Similarly, psychologists typically search for anorex
ia in adolescents, the age group commonly found to
have the disorder in white girls. However, experts ques-

tion whether anorexia may develop later among blacks.
Thomas Joiner, a professor of psychology at Florida
State University, tested whether racial stereotypes influ
ence the recognition of eating disorders. He asked 150
people to read a fictional diary of a 16-year-old girl
named Mary and rated whether they thought the girl had
an eating disorder.
For some the diary was labeled Mary, 16-year-old
Caucasian.” For others it was labeled “Mary, 16-year-
old African-American.”

Milled it. How
More people said the subject had an eating disorder
when she was labeled white than when she was labeled
black.
“Race mattered,” Joiner said. “There's the idea in peo
ple's minds that African-American girls tend not to get eat
ing disorders. And that influenced their judgments.”
Joiner and his colleagues also found that many health
care professionals were unable to recognize black
anorexics, suggesting that could contribute to missed
diagnoses.
“(Doctors) should have their same radar out for eat
ing disorders when talking with an African-American
girl as when they are sitting across from Caucasian
girls ” Joiner said.
Many researchers and clinicians studying anorexia
nervosa say that becoming anorexic is less a factor of
race and more a consideration of one's social group.
However, girls from poor families lace an additional
risk because they are not likely to be able to afford treat
ment, which can cost as mil as $30,000 for a month of
in-patient care.
Doswell typifies somflof the issues surrounding
anorexia in black women.
She starts each day ith eight melon-flavored
gummy rings.
“I don't want a booty fee J. Lo,” Doswell said. "I
don't want to look like Bonce because she is fat.”
Doswell was eating on rice or fruit and exercising
incessantly, stealing laxatrs and throwing up the little
food she consumed. Buthe did not know that her
behaviors had a name.
“I went online one day id found out that what I w as
doing was actually a disea." she said.
The Web has become haven for young women
with eating disorders whe'eel they have nowhere else
to turn for help and supirt. The issue of race and
stereotypes about eating isorders are hot topics for
members of the Colours i Ana Web site, created as a
support system for girlsind women of color with
anorexia and other eatinjJisorders.
Many girls on the ww.coloursofana.com site
wrote that they have bed negative comments from
other blacks suggesting at they developed anorexia
because they are trying the white by becoming thin.
“I have an eating disder because I am sick, not
because 1 am wanting toe white,” wrote one woman.
“We need to get past thisort of exclusivity. It is just
not helping.”
