  1. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was run on log(10) transformed Fan and Play data, as these were highly positively skewed. Superscripts indicate which groups are significantly different from one another per Tukey post-hoc tests. Chi-square analyses were run on the demographic data followed by cell-comparisons based on standardized adjusted residuals
  2. ANA #anarecovery. ARFID #arfidrecovery, BED #bedrecovery, MIA #miarecovery, ORTHO #orthorexiarecovery
  3. *Statistically significant group differences at p < .05 level after application of the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure
  4. ^marginally significant group differences at p < .1. After the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure, the highest p-value considered statistically significant was p = 0.016, and the highest p-value considered marginally significant was p = 0.078. For cell comparisons using Z-scores, a significant p-value was set to p < .05. We only assessed cell comparisons in cases when the omnibus test was significant after the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure. Fishers Exact Tests were used if any expected cell count was less than 5
