What is it about?
Our study is the first to explore factors impacting specialty eating disorder outpatient treatment dropout in an underresourced Appalachian community. Results identify age and body mass index (BMI) as potential predictors of treatment dropout, highlighting unique barriers that may exist for adults and individuals with higher BMIs. Our study sets a critical foundation for further investigation of barriers to life-saving eating disorder treatment access and continuation.
