Early intervention

What are the barriers to early intervention and how can these be addressed?

Rapid response following onset is considered particularly important given eating disorders become more difficult to treat as they progress and are increasingly complicated by physical and mental health comorbidity. Favourable outcomes are associated with early intervention and rapid response to treatment, however, very little research has been conducted on early intervention programs in eating disorders.

There is a need to replicate and scale-up successful early intervention programs as well as identify any potential barriers to wider dissemination. Capacity to increase the reach of early intervention programs will be critical to reducing the public health burden of eating disorders.

Research can transform people's lives.

The Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre is supported by funding from the Australian Government under the National Leadership in Mental Health program.

Lead Agency, InsideOut Institute for Eating Disorders, is a joint venture between the Sydney Local Health District and the University of Sydney
