研究是为了探索澳大利亚为有饮食问题的男性提供服务的相关问题。定性和定量数据收集自提供治疗的主要利益相关者组织（n=15）、治疗有饮食问题的男性的从业人员（n=10）和有饮食问题的男性个人（n=5）。探讨了四个关键领域：获得服务的比率、男子饮食问题的表现和发展、阻碍或促进康复过程的因素以及改善服务提供的建议。调查结果突出表明，需要在整个社会提高对男性饮食问题的认识，但对保健专业人员来说，需要更好地认识男性饮食问题的表现，并扩大现有服务，使其对男性更加友好。预计服务提供者将通过确定减少障碍和鼓励男性寻求帮助行为的方法，从这些发现中受益。未来的研究应该寻求使用更大的样本量来复制和扩展这些发现。
Research was undertaken to explore issues surrounding service provision for men with eating issues in Australia. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered from key stakeholdersorganisations that provide treatment (n=15), practitioners that have worked with men with eating issues (n=10), and individual men with eating issues (n=5). Four key areas were explored: rates of access to services, the expression and development of eating issues in men, factors inhibiting or facilitating the recovery process, and recommendations to improve service provision. Results highlighted the need for increased awareness about men's eating issues within society generally, but for health professionals specifically, the need for better recognition of the expression of eating issues in men, and the expansion of existing services to be more male friendly. It is anticipated that service providers will benefit from these findings by identifying ways to reduce barriers and encourage help-seeking behaviour in men. Future research should seek to replicate and expand these findings using a larger sample size.
