Abstract Background The primary care setting offers an attractive opportunity for, not only the identification of pediatric eating disorders, but also the delivery of evidence-based treatment. However, constraints of this setting pose barriers for implementing treatment. For interventions to be successful, they need to take into consideration the perspectives of stakeholders. As such, the purpose of this study was to examine in-depth primary care providers’ perspective of challenges to identifying and managing eating disorders in the primary care setting. Methods This mixed methods study surveyed 60 Pediatric and Family Medicine providers across 6 primary care practices. Sixteen of these providers were further interviewed using a qualitative, semi-structured interview. Results Providers (n = 60, response rate of 45%) acknowledged the potential of primary care as a point of contact for early identification and treatment of pediatric eating disorders. They also expressed that this was an area of need in their practices. They identified numerous barriers to successful implementation of evidence-based treatment in this setting including scarcity of time, knowledge, and resources. Conclusions Investigations seeking to build capacities in primary care settings to address eating disorders must address these barriers.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the most effective treatment of bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED). Initial findings with eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) other than BED promise similar outcomes. Options for improving upon the efficacy and efficiency of CBT are discussed, primarily by incorporating an expanded range of principles and clinical strategies from CBT in general. Fairburn’s (2008) enhanced CBT provides an illustration. Dissemination of CBT is poor. Guided self-help based on CBT principles is effective for a subset of patients with BN and BED and provides the means for making evidence-based treatment available to a wider range of patients. There is scant research on CBT for anorexia nervosa, and evidence of efficacy is lacking.
