Background
Eating disorders are prevalent in the adolescent and young adult population, with 2.7% of adolescents effected. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends yearly screening for eating disorders in adolescents. Even with this recommendation, eating disorders often go underdiagnosed. AYAs with cancer possess several risk factors for eating disorders that may place them at an even higher risk, including receiving weight-altering therapies and having their weight/nutrition emphasized. Since these patients see their oncology team frequently, oncology clinics are opportune settings for eating disorder screening. This describes a single-institution study to implement screening for eating disorders in AYA patients in an oncology clinic.
