After years of advocacy by STRIPED’s Eating Disorders Public Health Surveillance Working Group and its partners, the CDC has released its first national data on binge eating among high school students. A new CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) highlights alarming findings from these data, revealing that 40.5% of U.S. high school students reported binge eating at least one day in the past 30 days. The findings were also featured in a STAT News article featuring STRIPED’s Ariel Beccia.
