These findings have informed public health prevention and treatment strategies, including translation of findings to clinical recommendations for primary care providers (PCPs). A next step in this translational work could include a comprehensive approach where PCPs are seen as partners in efforts to improve population health outcomes. PCPs have great potential to implement high-yield interventions that prevent or attenuate the course of adolescent eating disorders. To illustrate this potential, we present a case that highlights missed opportunities for a PCP to prevent, detect, and intervene during a patient's developing eating disorder. We then relate the case to two emerging research programs that utilize PCP partnerships: one trains PCPs in Strengths-Based Adolescent Healthcare to improve eating disorder prevention; the other adapts Family-Based Treatment for primary care to improve early access to evidence-based treatment. In addition to these promising areas of research, efforts are needed to widen requirements for eating disorder curricula in medical training programs and to address weight stigma in primary care. Together these efforts will help PCPs become effective partners in the prevention and treatment of eating disorders. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
