Quantitative analyses provided no evidence that greater exposure to recovery content was associated with lower or higher eating disorder symptom severity, although the study was underpowered to detect small\u2010to\u2010moderate effects. Recovery and pro\u2010eating disorder content were strongly correlated within participants' TikTok feeds in terms of the volume of videos delivered (Spearman's\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c1<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.91) and their proportional representation (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c1<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.77), with the former association remaining high even after controlling for overall TikTok exposure (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c1<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.81).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings raise concerns about the safety of TikTok recovery spaces. TikTok content pitched as \u201ceating disorder recovery\u201d frequently contains pro\u2010eating disorder features, shows no strong protective association with symptom severity, and is regularly encountered alongside pro\u2010eating disorder content within users' feeds.
