Main Results:

  • Women with past or current ED reported higher escape avoidance and lower social support/problem-solving than those without ED or dieting history.
  • After controlling for depression, only escape avoidance remained a significant difference between groups.
  • Escape avoidance was significantly higher in women with past/current ED.

Conclusions:

  • Escape avoidance is a key coping strategy differentiating women with eating disorders.
  • Findings suggest a need for enhanced coping skills training in ED prevention and treatment.
  • Interventions should focus on reducing maladaptive coping, such as escape avoidance, in individuals with ED and dieting issues.
