Note. Numerically higher means represent greater levels of stigma. N/A denotes that scale was not administered. AN = anorexia nervosa; BN = bulimia nervosa; BED = binge-eating disorder; SASS = Stigma and Self-Stigma Scale; OS = Opinions Scale; EDSS = Eating Disorder Stigma Scale
**p <.001. *p <.05.
