Abstract

The detection of eating disorders has been cited as a challenge at the primary care level. Literature has shown both a lack in provider knowledge on eating disorders, as well as the routine use of a single, all-inclusive tool to identify distorted eating behaviors and habits in the primary care setting. Early detection of eating disorders is vital as they are associated with long-term and potentially fatal ramifications.
