\nChristine Peat, PhD, director of the National Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders at UNC-Chapel Hill, led the creation of this easy-to-use, digital screening tool, freely available for primary care clinicians.<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Eating<\/a>–A first-of-its-kind tool to help expand care for patients with eating disorders is now available to primary care physicians across the U.S. The NCEED Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment for Eating Disorders (SBIRT-ED) tool lets providers quickly and easily administer an evidence-based screener to patients. If an individual screens positive for a possible eating disorder, providers can use conversation guides and resources from the SBIRT-ED tool<\/a> to speak to the individual about next steps to address the condition.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe know that primary care clinicians are well-versed in screening for various mental health conditions and they feel comfortable in this role,\u201d says Christine Peat<\/a>, PhD, director of the National Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders<\/a> (NCEED) at the UNC School of Medicine. \u201cThe challenge with eating disorders is that many individuals do not have obvious signs or symptoms so these conditions can go undetected without routine screening. SBIRT-ED addresses that challenge by equipping clinicians with a tool that is brief, easy to use, and geared toward their scope of practice.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nMore than 28 million<\/a> Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime and eating disorders lead to 10,200 deaths every year in the U.S. Research<\/a> shows that eating disorders are getting worse or have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because early diagnosis and treatment leads to better outcomes for patients, there is an urgent need for a more comprehensive approach to identify and help people who have eating disorders.\n<\/p>\n

\nPeat adds that primary care providers have unique relationships with their patients. They are commonly the first touchpoint that someone turns to for medical concerns. This puts primary care providers in a unique and trusted position to help people who struggle with eating disorders. \u201cIt\u2019s important to screen people even if they don\u2019t have obvious weight loss or aren\u2019t explicitly disclosing eating disorder symptoms,\u201d Peat says. \u201cEating disorders thrive in secrecy. During the pandemic people have been at home more and socializing less. This is fertile ground for eating disorders and we\u2019ve seen them increase across the board, especially in children and adolescents.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nPeat, an associate professor in the UNC Department of Psychiatry, led the effort to create the SBIRT-ED tool. The SBIRT model is a well-established public health\/harm-reduction approach designed for primary care physicians to detect and manage substance use disorders, depression, and anxiety. Adapting the model for eating disorders creates a flexible tool that can be implemented in various clinics and delivered to patients in a range of ways. It\u2019s also feasible to use for every adult patient and facilitates referrals to specialty treatment\u2014a key component of eating disorder management.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe NCEED staff plans to offer trainings on the background and implementation for SBIRT-ED to primary care physicians and their staff. Peat says they are also creating curricula for medical and graduate trainings programs so the next generation of healthcare providers are trained in this approach. \u201cWe built the SBIRT-ED tool for primary care practices because we know there is trust between primary care physicians and their patients,\u201d Peat says. \u201cThis tool can open the door to talk about eating disorders with patients who really need help and might not receive it otherwise.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAbout UNC School of Medicine<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

\nThe UNC School of Medicine (SOM) is the state\u2019s largest medical school, graduating approximately 180 new physicians each year. It is consistently ranked among the top medical schools in the US, including 3rd<\/sup> overall for primary care by US News & World Report, and 6th<\/sup> for research among public universities. More than half of the school\u2019s 1,700 faculty members served as principal investigators on active research awards in 2021. Two UNC SOM faculty members have earned Nobel Prize awards.\n<\/p>\n
