Abstract:
Using the health belief model (HBM), this study used a retrospective qualitative survey to learn about female survivors’ treatment‐seeking behaviors for eating disorders (EDs). Fourteen women were recruited, and survey responses were coded based on the HBM to identify factors participants say led them to treatment. Themes included anxiety, depression, and obsession for perceived severity; coping/control for perceived benefits; social dysfunction for perceived barriers; lonely/numb, self‐harm, medical staff, parents/family, and school staff, for cue to action; and happiness/peace/appreciation and medical health for self‐efficacy. Individuals working with youth, including family and consumer science professionals, could identify warning signs and promote mental health.
