Have your say on how we turn the The Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy 2021-2031 into reality!
We are charged with implementing The Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy 2021-2031 which was developed over two years of consultation. It is our intention that the Strategy is a document that is used and is useful, that we respond to the gaps it identifies, bring to life the actions articulated through our consultations, and that it is a live document in so much as we use it as a springboard for the generation of new ideas, activities and strategic priorities as required.

What are the key risk and protective factors and how do they impact on the development of (or the risk of developing) an eating disorder?
A range of risk factors have been identified in the literature relating to the onset of eating disorders. Development of an eating disorder is multi-factorial and highly dependent on the individual. Understanding the range of risk factors and their potential contribution to onset of eating disorders is central to identifying at-risk groups and providing effective screening and prevention programs, as well as targeted treatment.
