While historically not emphasised in undergraduate allied health sciences training, it is increasingly considered an essential graduate trait. This scoping review synthesises existing research on EI outcomes, specifically in undergraduate allied health professions students.

Using reflexive thematic analysis this paper considers addictive eating through a participant focused lens, specifically focussing on the phenomena of the food environment and its impact on individuals with addictive eating.

This study aimed to develop a nutrition-risk screening tool, the NutriMental Screener, and to perform preliminary feasibility and validity testing. In an international, stakeholder engaging approach, a multifaceted nutrition-risk screening tool for mental health services was developed by means of workshops with international stakeholders and two online surveys.

- The TRACE intervention, designed for treating addictive eating, showed significant improvement in food addiction scores when compared to passive and control groups during a 3-month trial.
- Active intervention costs averaged $294 per person, while passive and control interventions were much cheaper at $47 and $26, respectively.
- Despite low costs, the active intervention was not deemed cost-effective due to minimal gains in Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs), suggesting that the passive intervention was more economically viable.
Background: The relationships between diet quality and health care costs have not been explored beyond 15 years.
Objective: To investigate relationships between both baseline diet quality and change in diet quality over time with cumulative data on health care claims and costs over 21 years among Australian women.
Design: This is a secondary analysis of data from a cohort study, the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health.
