| Abstract | :  There is a growing body of literature suggesting the novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) negatively impacts mental health in individuals self-reporting an eating disorder (ED); however, limited pediatric data is available about the impact COVID-19 has had on youth with EDs, specifically Anorexia Nervosa (AN). Our study uses a cross-sectional design to explore differences in ED symptoms between adolescents diagnosed with AN during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to a retrospective cohort of adolescents for whom these measures were previously collected, prior to the pandemic. |
