Week 2 Assignment 2 Blog Post


So far in my research I have learned a ton about the genetic factors involved in eating disorders because not only is it a personal challenge, but its seems as I read more on the topic that it is also a genetic factor as well. After reading our text by Badke he really struck a chord with me and I found myself asking the questions he posed in the text. I also found myself instead of just picking a source that looked credible I was going back and forth with the CRAAP chart and Badke text to compare and contrast. As well as picking apart the article to make sure it was  a good source for my research.
I used the CRAAP chart a lot when going through every source I found making sure that the ones I chose had 95-100 % of the qualities Badke and CRAAP wanted. Using this technique I was able to weed through the bad sources and find the diamond in rough sources.  For this topic I would like to further investigate into the genetic but also more of the environmental aspect of this topic. I am a huge believer in healthy environments mentally and physically so I would like to see how that plays a part in eating disorders.
