Exploring Drivers of Binge Eating in Individuals With Food Insecurity and Recurrent Binge Eating: A Qualitative Analysis
This qualitative assessment of individuals' lived experience with food insecurity and binge eating suggests the relevance of considering food insecurity-specific factors, mental and physical health, and binge-promoting narratives when addressing binge eating in this subpopulation. Future research should explore whether improving access to nutritious foods and enhancing coping strategies address binge eating in individuals with food insecurity.
