Abstract
This phenomenological study examines second-generation Canadian South Asian women’s experiences of an eating disorder, and explores issues of culture conflict in relation to mental health tensions and body/self-concept distortions. Eight second-generation South Asian women who have sought help for an eating disorder participated in semi-structured interviews. Using feminist and transcultural theories, our analyses suggest that body image distortions stem from myriad pressures women face in relation to others in their lives. In constant attempt to follow familial and cultural expectations, these women felt a disconnection and alienation linking to mental pressure, which may be a factor in the development of self-dissatisfaction and ultimately eating disorders for this group. This research elevates awareness of eating disorders within the South Asian community as a way to break the ‘conspiracy of silence’ that surrounds this growing health concern.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
