Considering the significant physical and psychological impacts of eating disorders it is imperative that research is directed towards effective and implementable prevention strategies and programs.  While there is a significant knowledge base for effective eating disorder prevention and experience in delivering trials, there remains a lack of translation to clinical and practical settings. There is a need to replicate and scale-up successful prevention programs and identify any potential barriers to wider dissemination. Capacity to increase the reach of eating disorder prevention programs will be critical to reducing the public health burden of eating disorders.
