Eating disorder subscale scores measured by the Eating Pathology Symptom Inventory (EPSI); ACEs = total number of adverse events endorsed on the Adverse Childhood Events scale (ACEs); Total Discrimination = total frequency score as measured by Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS); Discrim Reasons = total number of reasons for discrimination endorsed on Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS). EPSI Purging, ACES, and Discrim Reasons were ln-transformed for the purpose of reporting Pearson correlation coefficients
