We present innovative research practices in psychiatric genetic studies to ensure representation of individuals from diverse ancestry, sex assigned at birth, gender identity, age, body shape and size, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Due to histories of inappropriate and harmful practices against marginalized groups in both psychiatry and genetics, people of certain identities may be hesitant to participate in research studies. Yet their participation is essential to ensure diverse representation, as it is incorrect to assume that the same genetic and environmental factors influence the risk for various psychiatric disorders across all demographic groups.

Article Synopsis
  • Latinos/as have been underrepresented in eating disorder clinical trials, leading to a study that examined a culturally adapted cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for binge-spectrum eating disorders, comparing regular CBT to CBT with a family enhancement module (CBT + FE).
  • The study involved 25 Latina adult patients and their family members, showing that while CBT + FE led to better treatment adherence and satisfaction, it did not significantly improve family outcomes or eating disorder symptoms compared to standard CBT.
  • Overall, the pilot study suggests that including family in treatment could be beneficial for patient retention but does not guarantee improved eating disorder outcomes.
