What the experts said
A national survey of pediatric weight management programs across the US was conducted
Most programs are screening for eating disorders, but not in a very standardized way
About 60% of programs are doing some form of screening
A lot of screening uses informal, homegrown questionnaires or just clinical judgment rather than validated tools
Providers are generally comfortable screening for eating disorders
When it comes to diagnosing binge eating disorder, medical providers lag behind behavioral health specialists by a wide margin
Clinicians report not being trained enough as a barrier to eating disorder diagnosis and management
Clinicians report not knowing how to manage eating disorders they find as a barrier
Clinicians report lacking clear treatment pathways for eating disorders as a barrier
Medical providers may need more training for diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders
