Congressional Quarterly (12/11, Zanona, Subscription Publication) reported that HR 4153 “would establish a three-year pilot program providing grants for middle schools to screen students for conditions such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa, as well as educate teachers, counselors, nurses and parents about identifying risk factors and symptoms.” The aim of the legislation “is to test the effects of early intervention – an issue about which bill supporters contend there is insufficient data.”
