An investigation of the dual continua model of mental health in the context of eating disorder symptomatology using latent profile analysis

CONCLUSIONS: The results did not provide conclusive evidence for the dual continua model as they could also be interpreted in a manner consistent with the unidimensional approach. While the dual continua model is a promising avenue to understand mental health in a way that looks beyond symptoms, these results caution against its rapid adoption and encourage future research to understand how eating disorder symptomatology and positive mental health assets contribute to overall mental health.PMID:37667829 | DOI:10.1111/bjc.12439
