OBJECTIVE
This study investigated whether there is a bias against eating disorders research among the leading psychiatric, psychological, and medical journals.
METHOD
The authors performed a comparison between the number of empirical articles published about anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia nervosa and the number of articles published about panic disorder and/or agoraphobia (i.e., disorders of comparable disease burden) in 29 high-impact journals over a 5-year period (1996-2001).
RESULTS
There were almost twice as many published empirical articles about panic disorder and/or agoraphobia (N=365) as there were about anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia nervosa (N=169).
CONCLUSIONS
The findings indicate a possible bias against eating disorders research among some leading psychiatric journals. Alternative explanations and implications are discussed.
目的
本研究调查了在领先的精神病学、心理学和医学期刊中是否存在对饮食失调研究的偏见。
方法
作者对29种高影响力期刊在5年期间（1996 - 2001年）发表的关于神经性厌食症和/或神经性贪食症的实证文章数量与发表的关于惊恐障碍和/或广场恐惧症（即疾病负担相当的疾病）的文章数量进行了比较。
结果
发表的关于惊恐障碍和/或广场恐惧症的实证文章（N = 365）几乎是关于神经性厌食症和/或神经性贪食症的文章（N = 169）的两倍。
结论
研究结果表明，一些领先的精神病学期刊可能存在对饮食失调研究的偏见。文中讨论了其他解释和影响。
