Martin‐Wagar CA, Boswell RG, Bennett BL, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to identify psychological and eating disorder symptoms that predict whether or not individuals with diagnosed eating disorders begin treatment after receiving a diagnostic assessment and treatment recommendation. Identifying barriers to treatment initiation can inform interventions to improve treatment adherence. Following a diagnostic evaluation at an eating disorder specialty clinic, 223 adults were advised to start treatment and completed self-report measures of psychological functioning, clinical impairment, and eating psychopathology. Approximately two-thirds of the 223 patients who were recommended to begin treatment did so within 3 months of the assessment. Following a diagnostic assessment and recommendation to begin treatment, the findings identify eating disorder symptoms that predict treatment enrollment. To address potential treatment barriers, it is recommended that these symptoms be assessed during the diagnostic assessment stage. Future research should focus on developing strategies to increase treatment adherence at this stage of the process.
