Thank you very much, Ms. Hodge and Ms. Preskow, for joining us today.
Ms. Preskow, I want to thank you for sharing your private story, your family story, your powerful testimony. We've heard from witnesses that one of the major barriers is the silence that people living with eating disorders and their families face. You are certainly breaking that silence by speaking out on behalf of so many families who normally wouldn't be able to join us in this committee.
Ms. Hodge, to follow up on your presentation, you talked quite a bit about existing research but also about gaps that exist in research with respect to this issue. I am wondering if you can elaborate on how underfunding can impact the quality of research conducted on eating disorders as well as the quality of care women receive.
