CNN (12/6, Holcombe) reports, “Clinicians, researchers and activists have stressed the need for better treatment and services of people with eating disorders who don’t fit the stereotypical patient profile – and recent data suggests a growing need.” A study tracked pediatric eating disorder hospitalizations in Ontario between April 2002 and March 2020, finding that “hospitalizations generally increased over that time, rising by 139% from 2002 to 2019.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
