(Cultures idealizing thinness, pressure from peers to fit in, and constant images of bodily perfection shown by mass media, along with additional physiological and psychological factors, can combine to create the perfect storm for adolescents struggling with eating disorders. For this Assignment, choose one peer-reviewed research study about eating disorders that focuses on a minority group of adolescents. Consider connections between physiological development, adolescence, and eating disorders.)
Submit a 2- to 4-page paper for which you articulate a position on eating disorders in adolescent girls from diverse racial and cultural experiences. Explain how the position is related to the biological and/or physiological development as well as psychological development of adolescent girls. Further, explain how such findings can inform evidence-based social work practice. Please use the Learning Resources and the research study you identified to support your answer.

Logan Family Episode 3 Program Transcript
LOGAN: I appreciate you coming to see me today, Ebony. I won't take much of your time. I was thinking about our meeting, what you told me.
I understand this is a difficult time in your life. You're 16, and you're pregnant. And you have a lot of people in your life advising you to do different things. I can imagine that might be confusing, getting pulled in a lot of directions.
EBONY: It sure is. My parents, my boyfriend, I don't want to think
LOGAN: And I know I didn't make it any easier for you when you first told me about it. I want to apologize if I sounded like I was judging you, or telling you whether or not you should keep– should continue with the pregnancy. That wasn't my intention. I'm sorry.
EBONY: I appreciate that. I did feel bad after talking to you.
LOGAN: So we're good?
EBONY: Yeah. We're good.
LOGAN: Good. I'm glad we cleared the air. Let's keep in touch about this, OK?
EBONY: Sure.
LOGAN: One more thing. I know things probably feel pretty out of control for you, but I want you to start thinking about the things that you do have control over, OK?
EBONY: OK. And thanks for everything. I really appreciate it.
