TI  - Adolescent Girls and Their Mothers Talk About Experiences of Binge and Loss of 
      Control Eating.
PG  - 1403-1416
AB  - Evidence suggests that adolescents' experience of binge eating (BE) might differ 
      in important ways from that of adults. Moreover, although BE appears more common 
      in African American women than other disordered eating behaviors, little is known 
      about the influence of cultural factors on this behavior in adolescents. The 
      current investigation used qualitative methodology to examine the perceptions of 
      White and African American adolescent girls and their mothers regarding 
      experiences of binge and loss of control eating. Five focus groups were completed 
      with 19 adolescent girls (aged 13-17, 58 % African American, 41 % White) who 
      endorsed loss of control eating behaviors. Their mothers (N = 19) also completed 
      separate, concurrent focus groups addressing food and eating behaviors. Responses 
      to focus group questions were analyzed using thematic qualitative analysis. 
      Adolescents' awareness of their eating behaviors varied greatly. Girls reported 
      some awareness of how emotions influence their eating behaviors, and described 
      using food to achieve autonomy. Mothers evidenced awareness of their daughters' 
      problematic eating behaviors, the effects of emotions on eating for both their 
      daughters and themselves, and sociocultural factors influencing diet. Data from 
      these focus groups can inform the development of innovative interventions for 
      adolescent girls engaging in loss of control eating.
