Flourishing despite eating disorder risk: exploring undergraduate student academic, social and mental health outcomes via the dual continua model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Eating disorder (ED) risk is pervasive among undergraduate students, however, psychopathology and well-being can vary notably. Using National College Health Assessment (NCHA-III) (2023) data, 277 Atlantic Canadian undergraduate students (mean age 22.4 years) who screened positive for an ED based on the Sick Control One-stone Fat Food (SCOFF) scale were separated into flourishing (19.4%) and non-flourishing sub-samples using the Mental Health Continuum - Short Form (MHC-SF) scale. Chi square tests revealed that flourishing students were less likely to report problems with academics, faculty, and relationships, loneliness and isolation, and more likely to report stronger university belongingness. Flourishing students also indicated better self-assessed health, as well as, lower psychological distress, suicidality risk, psychological/mental health service utilization, and comorbid anxiety and depression. While SCOFF scores were significantly lower among flourishing students, body mass index (BMI) levels did not vary. Findings are considered via the dual continua model, with recommendations to enhance potential to flourish.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
