Rate My Professor Tiffany Brown

Dr. Brown's research examines factors influencing body image and eating disorders in diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals and across genders, with a focus on the brain-body relationship through interoception and gastric-specific anxiety sensitivity. Her work develops and evaluates interventions to reduce health disparities, such as novel LGBTQ-affirmative eating disorder treatments and prevention programs targeting eating disorder and muscle dysmorphia risk in LGBTQ+ and male populations. She investigates treatment outcomes related to gender and sexual identity. Key publications include 'Interoception and mental health: a roadmap' (Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, 2018), 'The enigma of male eating disorders: A critical review and synthesis' (Clinical Psychology Review, 2017), 'Update on course and outcome in eating disorders' (International Journal of Eating Disorders, 2010), 'Men, muscles, and eating disorders: an overview of traditional and muscularity-oriented disordered eating' (Current Psychiatry Reports, 2017), and 'Eating disorders and disordered weight and shape control behaviors in sexual minority populations' (Current Psychiatry Reports, 2017). Her research has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health for collaborative projects on LGBTQ+ eating disorder treatment.
