- Sexual minority women (SMW) experience higher rates of overeating and binge eating due to factors like stigma consciousness and discrimination, with about 17% reporting overeating and 9% binge eating in the past 3 months.
- A study involving 607 diverse SMW found that higher stigma consciousness significantly increased the odds of overeating but did not show a direct link to binge eating; depression did not mediate these associations.
- Notably, Latina SMW had higher odds of overeating compared to their White and African American counterparts, highlighting the need for targeted support and screening for stigma consciousness in SMW.
