Canadian Paediatric Society urges primary-care providers to screen adolescents for eating disorders in routine checkups amid pandemic rise.
The Canadian Paediatric Society is urging primary-care providers to screen all adolescent patients for eating disorders during routine checkups and other medical visits.
The society released new guidelines to help diagnose eating disorders, which have risen significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The initial screening process can be quick, using questions about weight changes, exercise habits, and body image.
Dr. Holly Agostino, the guidelines' lead author, emphasizes that primary-care providers can help by identifying eating disorders early and working with patients and families to change behaviors.
