- While FI was linked to a higher risk of likely ED diagnosis, it did not significantly affect current treatment status or intentions to seek treatment.

A sample of 60 participants (30 parents and 30 children/adolescents) participated in 1 of 5 separate structured focus groups, using probing questions and the nominal group technique (NGT).
