Information

Date & Time

Description

Participants will explore how Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) including food insecurity, housing instability, and systemic discrimination—impact the onset, diagnosis, and recovery of eating disorders. We will examine data-driven evidence on how marginalized identities face unique barriers to care and how clinicians can integrate an SDOH-informed lens into their practice.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify at least 3 systemic barriers that delay diagnosis in marginalized communities

  • Implement an SDOH-informed assessment to intake procedures to better identify risk factors for ED.

  • Analyze the relationship between food insecurity and development of eating disorders as maladaptive coping strategies

  • Identify how current eating disorder research excludes marginalized groups.

Educational Goal

The educational goal is to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge to identify and mitigate the social and structural barriers that drive eating disorder disparities in diverse populations.

Target Audience

  • Addiction Professional
  • Counselor
  • Dietitian
