While eating disorders affect people from all racial/ethnic backgrounds, research has traditionally focused on eating disorders in white populations. In this virtual issue, we present a collection of 14 articles previously published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders highlighting eating disorders in people of black/African and Indigenous heritage. Featured articles examine the prevalence and presentation of disordered eating in black and Indigenous populations; access to care and treatment experiences for black and Indigenous people; and environmental stressors, such as acculturative stress and discrimination, that may contribute to disordered eating in these populations. Future directions for inclusive research with people of black/African and Indigenous heritage are discussed, including reporting participant demographics, examining differences in risk factors and treatment outcomes across race/ethnicity, and partnering with black and Indigenous communities to produce culturally sensitive research attuned to the needs and priorities of these populations.
虽然饮食失调影响来自不同种族/族裔背景的人，但传统上的研究一直集中在白人人群中的饮食失调上。在本期虚拟特刊中，我们汇集了之前发表在《国际饮食失调杂志》上的 14 篇文章，重点介绍了黑人和原住民人群中的饮食失调。特色文章探讨了在黑人和原住民人群中饮食失调的流行程度和表现；黑人和原住民人群获得护理和治疗的情况；以及可能导致这些人群饮食失调的环境压力源，如文化适应压力和歧视。讨论了与黑人和原住民人群进行包容性研究的未来方向，包括报告参与者的人口统计学信息，跨种族/族裔检查风险因素和治疗结果的差异，以及与黑人和原住民社区合作，开展文化敏感性研究，以满足这些人群的需求和优先事项。
