Abstract

It has been established that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial effect on mental health, especially for adolescents and transitional-age youth (TAY). With social media becoming more prevalent for children and adolescents in recent years, these platforms provide a way to gauge changes in public conversation in that age group. Our goal was to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic affected engagement with eating disorders (EDs) by analyzing Twitter trends. We predicted that we would see an increase in messages preoccupied with EDs after the onset of the pandemic.
