3 Why we need to expand our reach SETTING THE STAGE 3

4 Barriers to help seeking (1) Lack of knowledge about the illness Lack of knowledge about treatment Shame, fear of stigmatization More than 50% of people with an ED never receive treatment 5 years on average between onset of illness and professional help (de la Rie et al., 2006) Average duration of illness of AN is 5-7 years (Strober et al., 1997) 4

5 Barriers to help seeking (2) Drop-out from treatment for AN: 20% first inpatient treatment, 30-50% following inpatient treatment 31-64% in specialized outpatient treatment Relapse in first year following inpatient treatment for AN 30-50% (Pike et al. 1998) Service availability is limited in many countries (where can I get help?) Service accessibility is limited in many countries (waiting lists, demands) Service affordability/ insurance reimbursement is limited in many countries 5

6 Aim of any service provision model should be. To improve early detection, early diagnosis, fast track individuals to fitting care To increase the number of individuals with a lasting recovery.. To improve the care for individuals with a chronic illness. To provide appropriate (cost) effective care. 6
