Field Research Report

I performed a survey of 25 random people. All subjects were of various student ages on the Metropolitan campus. For each person I asked them these questions:

-Within your lifetime, have you known someone who has struggled with an eating disorder?

RESULTS:
11 out of 25 answered yes. 44% had known someone at one point with an eating disorder.

-Of those who answered yes to question 1, I then asked: was that person an athlete?

RESULTS:
2 out of 11 answered yes. 18.18% were athletes.

-Do you think competitive athletes are at greater risk for an eating disorder than the every-day individual?

RESULTS:
7 out of 25 answered yes. 28% believe athletes are at greater risk.
