The BeFed Lab is recruiting a new PhD student for Fall 2025. Please share with those interested in exploring risk factors underlying disordered eating. Note we are now at the University of Toledo!
Join our team!!🚀
New paper from the @BefedLab! 25% of undergraduates endorsed intermittent fasting (IF). Doc student, Francois Ban found IF is linked to higher disordered eating, with impulse control difficulties (weakly) moderating this relationship. (1/2) authors.elsevier.com/c/1jvKB5EU5nsA…
New pub by @BefedLab grad, Francois Ban (& @v_hazzard_, Hana Zickgraf, & @SOConnorPhD) demonstrating measurement invariance for the Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire and the Nine-Item ARFID Screen by food security status! Free article access: authors.elsevier.com/c/1inaXiVKTl94T
