EDC is excited to share a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that provides the first national estimates of binge eating among U.S. high school students. Published in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) Supplements, the report analyzes the 2025 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), the first YRBS to include a question on binge eating.
This milestone was the direct result of advocacy by the EDC, the Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders (STRIPED), and many partner organizations since 2017.
This is a major step forward for surveillance, awareness, and policy.
