Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) increase risk for eating disorders (EDs). Discrimination based on race, gender, and gender and sexual identity is also linked to ED behaviors. This paper examined whether discrimination impacted ED behaviors when ACEs were considered to understand how they both might play a role in risk for EDs. Findings suggest that experiences of discrimination may have a greater impact on eating disorder symptoms in college students than a history of ACEs. More research is needed to understand the negative impacts of discrimination on eating disorders, in addition to history of trauma. Clinicians should attend to the ways discrimination may impact their clients' eating disorder behaviors, and whether individuals experience bias or discrimination when seeking eating disorder treatment.
