Screening Program Results
Thank you and congratulations to all of our sites and supporters who participated in the 2007 National Eating Disorders Screening Program® (NEDSP).

This year 435 sites registered for NEDSP 2007 – our highest level of participation ever!

  • A projected 16,935 students were screened at NEDSP campus events
  • 14.5% of screenings were recommended for follow-up services

In addition, the NEDSP Online Screening Program yielded significant outreach results:

  • 15,829 student screenings were completed through the NEDSP online screening program to date
  • 62% of the screenings completed online during NEDAW were found positive for symptoms consistent with an eating disorder
  • 96% of those screenings found positive were not in treatment at the time of screening,
  • 34% of those found positive planned to seek further help/evaluation
    (an increase from 2006)

Compelling feedback from our sites indicates the importance of screening for and raising awareness of eating disorders and body image issues on college campuses:
This year we chose to promote positive body image .. because poor body image often precedes eating disorders and because a larger population of students struggle with negative body image than disordered eating behaviors. The title “Celebrate Your Body Day” was also chosen in an effort to attract and include more male students in this screening event…CAPS staff members agreed that significantly more male students (perhaps around 40% of the total) participated in the body image activity this year!

We LOVE your program and materials. We’re sending the info on the Female Athlete Triad, the Anorexia and Bulimia Primer and the exercise brochure to our women’s sports coaches as outreach. Great materials!
