AB  - We investigated the 2-year course and putative predictors of outcome of 87 young 
      community women with common eating disorders (n = 59, 68% with Eating Disorder 
      not Otherwise Specified) following a health literacy (informational) 
      intervention. Participants were recruited in 3-phases: community survey, 
      interview and then invitation to a longitudinal study. The health literacy 
      intervention was provided randomly to half participants at baseline and half at 1 
      year. Eating disorder symptoms and mental health related quality of life (MHQoL), 
      general psychological function, help-seeking, and defence style were assessed at 
      baseline, and after 2 years by questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analyses 
      were used to identify features predictive of eating disorder symptom levels and 
      MHQoL. Eating disorder psychopathology remained high and MHQoL remained poor. In 
      the multivariate models, a higher baseline level of immature defence style 
      significantly predicted higher levels of eating disorder symptoms, poorer MHQoL 
      and more disability as measured by 'days out of role'. In addition, higher 
      educational attainment, baseline general psychological disturbance, lower BMI and 
      having main work outside the home were associated with poorer MHQoL. Women with 
      common eating disorders followed to 2 years continued to be highly symptomatic 
      and have poor quality of life. Psychological features important to outcome 
      included an immature coping style and higher general psychological distress.
