EDE-Q, Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire; DE, disordered eating (reported performing ≥2 of the listed pathogenic eating behaviors on the EDE-Q ≥2 times in the past 28 days); OCP, oral contraceptive pill; EDE-Q subscale scoring, disordered eating defined as having a score ≥4.0 on the dietary restraint, weight concern, or shape concern subscales; global score on the EDE-Q, disordered eating defined as having a mean global score (an average of the subscales) of ≥4.0 on the EDE-Q.
