Answer

Start with the library's LibGuides by subject (Link below)

From there, select the 'Hot Topics & News tab (Link below)

Click on EBSCO Academic Search Complete. There are some other databases listed, but this is the easiest one, and has a wealth of information.

Search for your topic, using various words, you could use: body image eating disorders

After that first search, on the left side of the screen, you can limit your search by various methods.

You want to select 'Full text' (so you can read the articles online)
And Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals

I am still finding over 1500 articles. You may want to limit the search further. Maybe by date, to find the most recent articles. And/or use the Subject lists to the left to limit by specific topics, within that subject.
