Disordered eating in Ontario: Perspectives from the community
What is EDO-P?
Ontario is adding a new layer of service delivery in evidence-based prevention. Prevention teams will be located in each of the Ontario Health’s six regions.
Teams will cover the entire region and be staffed by prevention service providers carrying out:
- Direct prevention services, and
- Support and coaching to public health, schools, post-secondary institutions, and other agencies involved with youth.
Why EDO-P and what you need to know
The onset of disordered eating is common in childhood and adolescence. Weight discrimination, weight-based bullying, and pressures to conform to unrealistic appearance ideals are just a few examples that children and adolescents face, on a day-to-day basis, that can have an impact. Drawing from existing and emerging evidence, EDO-P has put together a suite of interventions and strategies to reduce disordered eating.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
EDO P is committed to applying new and emerging evidence to the existing suite of EDO-P interventions including ways to promote identity-affirming and culturally responsive approaches to prevention
EDO-P Service Delivery
EDO-P aims to scale up evidence-informed, implementation-sensitive, and identity-affirming prevention and early intervention strategies to help reduce disordered eating and its precursors. Each Ontario Health Region will have a Host Organization hiring Eating Disorder Prevention Specialists locally, all supported by a provincial ‘backbone’ at EDO.
