Twenty years ago, Price published a survey identifying knowledge deficits of school counselors regarding eating disorders. Our study surveys current school counselors to determine whether knowledge has increased and determine the availability of school-based prevention programming.
School counselors from a single metropolitan area were surveyed prior to a mandatory in-service on eating disorders.
Of the 109 respondents, 55% felt eating disorders were a problem in their school. Very few felt "very competent" identifying (6%) or helping (2%) students with eating disorders. Today's school counselors were more likely to know a symptom of anorexia nervosa (AN) is missing at least three consecutive menstrual cycles and malnutrition is not a common cause of death for bulimia nervosa (BN).
While knowledge of AN and BN appear to have increased, school counselors still lack some basic understanding and report very low confidence in identifying and helping students with eating disorders.
二十年前，Price 发布了一项调查，发现学校辅导员在饮食失调方面存在知识缺陷。我们的研究调查了当前的学校辅导员，以确定知识是否有所增加，并确定是否有基于学校的预防计划。
在对饮食失调进行强制性在职培训之前，对来自单一大都市区的学校辅导员进行了调查。
在 109 名受访者中，有 55%的人认为饮食失调是他们学校的一个问题。很少有人觉得“非常有能力”识别（6%）或帮助（2%）有饮食失调的学生。如今的学校辅导员更有可能知道神经性厌食症（AN）的一个症状是连续三个周期以上没有月经，营养不良不是神经性贪食症（BN）的常见死因。
虽然对 AN 和 BN 的了解似乎有所增加，但学校辅导员仍然缺乏一些基本的理解，并报告说在识别和帮助有饮食失调的学生方面信心非常低。
