This article concludes the special issue, , by reflecting on some of the shared themes as the bases for guiding improvements, if not innovations, in future research. Overall, the articles in this collection highlight the progress achieved within eating disorders prevention in recent years, while addressing many of the existing-and sometimes glaring-gaps within the field. While these manuscripts represent important steps forward, they also offer conceptual frameworks and methodological roadmaps for future developments in the field. Based on prominent themes across those 12 articles, in this conclusion we recommend that future research within eating disorders prevention prioritize equity within research teams, participants, and research approaches. We encourage partnerships with non-academic teams and communities, as well as with multidisciplinary academic colleagues, to ensure that foundational research is directly translatable into program development and implementation, that our prevention efforts are sustainable over time, and that our research development and participating "audiences" include perspectives currently underrepresented in the literature. We also encourage action-based research in which research teams and other stakeholders consider ways to address policy and other systemic factors that lead to body- and appearance-based oppression and inequality.
本文通过反思一些共同主题，为未来研究提供指导改进（如果不是创新）的基础，从而结束了这个特刊。总的来说，本集中的文章突出了近年来在饮食失调预防方面取得的进展，同时也解决了该领域内存在的一些（有时是明显的）差距。虽然这些论文代表了向前迈出的重要一步，但它们也为该领域的未来发展提供了概念框架和方法路线图。基于这 12 篇文章中的突出主题，在本结论中，我们建议未来的饮食失调预防研究应优先考虑研究团队、参与者和研究方法中的公平性。我们鼓励与非学术团队和社区以及多学科学术同事建立伙伴关系，以确保基础研究能够直接转化为方案的制定和实施，确保我们的预防工作能够随着时间的推移持续下去，并且我们的研究发展和参与的“受众”包括目前在文献中代表性不足的观点。我们还鼓励采取行动的研究，研究团队和其他利益攸关方考虑如何解决导致身体和外貌压迫和不平等的政策和其他系统性因素。
