OBJECTIVE
Screening for obesity and eating disorders (EDs) offers a pathway to treatment. The current study surveyed U.S. college healthcare providers regarding screening for obesity and EDs.
PARTICIPANTS
Providers ( = 1,159) from a nationally-representative sample of 384 college health centers.
METHODS
Providers completed surveys regarding obesity and ED screening practices and beliefs. Provider-level and organizational-level factors were examined as predictors of screening frequency.
RESULTS
Providers reported screening larger percentages of female students for obesity (70%) than EDs (30%) and were more likely to report a center-wide policy to screen for obesity (59.1%) than EDs (33.9%). Providers reporting a routine screening policy predicted screening frequency in both obesity and EDs. Most providers believed screening for obesity (75.6%) and EDs (82.5%) was a good idea.
CONCLUSION
Obesity is screened for more often than EDs in college health centers. Understanding screening barriers will be beneficial in connecting students with obesity and/or EDs to care.
目的
筛查肥胖症和饮食失调症为治疗提供了一条途径。当前研究就肥胖症和饮食失调症的筛查情况对美国高校医疗服务提供者进行了调查。
参与者
来自384个高校健康中心的具有全国代表性样本中的1159名医疗服务提供者。
方法
医疗服务提供者完成了关于肥胖症和饮食失调症筛查实践与信念的调查。将医疗服务提供者层面和组织层面的因素作为筛查频率的预测指标进行了研究。
结果
医疗服务提供者报告称，对肥胖症进行筛查的女学生比例（70%）高于饮食失调症（30%），并且更有可能报告有全中心范围的肥胖症筛查政策（59.1%），而饮食失调症筛查政策的比例为33.9%。报告有常规筛查政策的医疗服务提供者预测了肥胖症和饮食失调症的筛查频率。大多数医疗服务提供者认为筛查肥胖症（75.6%）和饮食失调症（82.5%）是个好主意。
结论
在高校健康中心，肥胖症的筛查频率高于饮食失调症。了解筛查障碍将有助于让患有肥胖症和/或饮食失调症的学生获得治疗。
