Eating disorders (EDs) are relatively common, affecting approximately 3–5% of young men and 13–15% of young women by age 18. EDs occur across genders, races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic levels and often persist into senior adulthood. EDs are significant public-health concerns that are associated with elevated psychiatric and medical morbidity and mortality, making them important mental health conditions to routinely assess in both general and specialty mental health settings. In this chapter, we describe the diagnostic criteria for EDs, review key considerations for assessment, and provide a wealth of tips and user-friendly tools that clinicians and researchers can implement to assess for these serious disorders. Throughout the chapter, we focus on tailoring assessment based on client needs and demographic features to improve assessment in under-served and diverse populations.

摘要

Eating disorders (EDs) are relatively common, affecting approximately 3–5% of young men and 13–15% of young women by age 18. EDs occur across genders, races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic levels and often persist into senior adulthood. EDs are significant public-health concerns that are associated with elevated psychiatric and medical morbidity and mortality, making them important mental health conditions to routinely assess in both general and specialty mental health settings. In this chapter, we describe the diagnostic criteria for EDs, review key considerations for assessment, and provide a wealth of tips and user-friendly tools that clinicians and researchers can implement to assess for these serious disorders. Throughout the chapter, we focus on tailoring assessment based on client needs and demographic features to improve assessment in under-served and diverse populations.
