THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldResearchers at Ottawa's CHEO Research Lab are calling for a national surveillance strategy on eating disorders in Canada, as new statistics show a rise in the social and economic costs associated with the issue in children and youth.
The CHEO Research Institute says the COVID-19 pandemic increased financial stress, isolation and anxiety, "factors known to contribute to the development of eating disorder symptoms." According to researchers, only 20 per cent of young people living with an eating disorder seek treatment. In 2023, CHEO opened the first pediatric eating disorders partial hospitalization program in Canada. The program welcomes 12 patients with moderate to severe eating disorders daily, seven days a week for 12 hours a day and allows the patients to return home in the evening.
