In this ‘RESHAPE Study’ series episode, Professor Tamsin Ford and Clara Faria explore the findings from the ‘National Study of Health and Wellbeing: Children and Young People’ as they relate to eating disorders, and why these findings are important.



The ‘RESHAPE Study’ series is a new mini-in conversation series that will explore the RESHAPE study and the impact of its findings for parents, teachers, policymakers, and mental health professionals.



Discussion points include:






  • The National Survey Study design and the methods used to measure the number of children and young people with eating disorders.

  • The correlation between an increase in population-level prevalence of eating disorders and help seeking.

  • The increase in waiting times following the COVID-19 pandemic and the unmet needs of children and young people with eating disorders.

  • Recommendations for commissioners and how we can ensure early identification of eating disorders.

  • The importance of ensuring boys and men are not overlooked.

  • Recommendations for future interventions and how to improve medical education around eating disorders.
