A new study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), published by Elsevier, examined parental concerns about child disordered eating among families participating in a long-term, motivational interviewing (MI)-based behavioral intervention. Disordered eating refers to a range of unhealthy eating-related thoughts and behaviors, such as loss of control eating, excessive concern about weight or shape, or restrictive eating, that may not meet the criteria for a diagnosed eating disorder.
