To critically review the scientific literature on screening, assessment, and diagnosis of eating disorders across Western healthcare systems to inform research and policy.
Conducted a rapid evidence synthesis to summarize research on eating disorder identification to guide Australia's National Eating Disorders Research and Translation Strategy 2021–2031.
Evaluated screening initiatives in both general and high-risk populations alongside personal, clinician, and systemic barriers to diagnosis.
Identified that most individuals with eating disorders remain undiagnosed and untreated due to low screening rates and insufficient clinician training across healthcare settings.
Demonstrated that delays in diagnosis lead to prolonged intervention timelines and increased healthcare expenditures for both individuals and health systems.
