Paving the way for effective public health interventions for bulimic eating disorders: Understanding stigma and mental health literacy

这项研究有助于促进和保持身体健康。在社区中，暴食症的负担很高，经常被忽视，而且还在增加。我们的研究将为提高对饮食失调的理解和减少与这些问题有关的耻辱铺平道路。这样做，将减少饮食失调患者的羞耻感和痛苦，并提高寻求适当治疗的机会，提高从家人、朋友和卫生专业人员那里得到的建议的质量。基于我们的研究结果的公共卫生干预将有助于建立一个更加宽容和理解的社区。

This research contributes to promoting and maintaining good health. The burden of bulimic eating disorders in the community is high, frequently ignored and increasing. Our research will pave the way for improved understanding of eating disorders and a reduction of stigma in relation to these problems. In so doing, it will lead to reduced shame and suffering for people with eating disorders and enhance appropriate treatment seeking and the quality of advice received from family, friends and health professionals. A public health intervention based on our findings will contribute to a more tolerant and understanding community.
