Despite growing recognition of the importance of workforce diversity in healthcare, limited research has explored diversity among eating disorder professionals globally. This multi-methods study examined diversity across demographic and professional variables. Participants were recruited from eating disorder (ED) and discipline-specific professional organizations. Participants’ (N=512) mean age was 41.1 (SD=12.5) years; 89.6 (n=459) of participants identified as women, 84.1% (n=419) as heterosexual/straight, and 73.0% (n=365) as White. Mean years working in EDs was 10.7 (SD=9.2). Qualitative analysis revealed three themes resulting in a theoretical framework to address barriers to increasing diversity. Perceived barriers were: “stigma, bias, stereotypes, myths,” “field of eating disorders pipeline,” and “homogeneity of the existing field.” Findings suggest limited workforce diversity within and across nations. The theoretical model suggests a need for focused attention to the educational pipeline, workforce homogeneity, and false assumptions about EDs and should be tested to evaluate its utility within the EDs field.
