Workforce Diversity in Eating Disorders: A Multi-Methods Study. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study investigates the lack of diversity among eating disorder (ED) professionals, highlighting that a significant majority of participants (89.6% women, 84.1% heterosexual, 73.0% White) indicates a uniform workforce demographic.
  • - Participants (n = 512) had an average age of 41.1 years and an average of 10.7 years of experience in the ED field, revealing a potentially stagnant professional landscape.
  • - Three main barriers to diversity were identified: stigma and stereotypes about EDs, a narrow educational pipeline, and the homogeneity within the profession, suggesting areas for future research and intervention.

Article Abstract

Despite growing recognition of the importance of workforce diversity in health care, limited research has explored diversity among eating disorder (ED) professionals globally. This multi-methods study examined diversity across demographic and professional variables. Participants were recruited from ED and discipline-specific professional organizations. Participants' (n = 512) mean age was 41.1 years (SD = 12.5); 89.6% (n=459) of participants identified as women, 84.1% (n = 419) as heterosexual/straight, and 73.0% (n = 365) as White. Mean years working in EDs was 10.7 years (SD = 9.2). Qualitative analysis revealed three themes resulting in a theoretical framework to address barriers to increasing diversity. Perceived barriers were the following: "stigma, bias, stereotypes, myths"; "field of eating disorders pipeline"; and "homogeneity of the existing field." Findings suggest limited workforce diversity within and across nations. The theoretical model suggests a need for focused attention to the educational pipeline, workforce homogeneity, and false assumptions about EDs, and it should be tested to evaluate its utility within the EDs field.
