This episode we speak with Natalie Boero and C.J. Pascoe about their co-authored article, Pro-Anorexia Communities and Online Interaction: Bringing the Pro-ana Body Online. We discuss what a pro-anorexia community is, how members establish authenticity within online groups, and the importance of moving beyond the individual in understanding anorexia.

Very informative podcast. I look forward to reading the researchers' follow up articles. I work in a college mental health setting and have occasion to see individuals with Eating Disorders, and so this information is professionally relevant to me.
