As seen in Table 2, the co-occurrence of alcohol use and EDs existed primarily for anorexic and bulimic symptoms, and not BED symptoms. Openness was significantly related to binge drinking. Participants\' Autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide was significantly negatively associated with binge drinking, alcohol-related problems, global eating pathology (i.e., EDDS total scores), AN, and BN symptoms.
Table 2.
We examined the unique contributions of global eating pathology, AN, BN, and BED symptoms, racial group identification, and the interaction between stressed community variables in predicting binge drinking and alcohol-related problems in six separate hierarchical regression analyses (Aiken & West, 1991). Given their significant correlation, openness was controlled for in regressions in which binge drinking was the criterion variable. Despite significant racial differences in alcohol outcomes and ED symptoms, there were no significant interaction effects. A description of significant main effects follows.
