“…To reduce stigma, community programs may use contact‐based initiatives, highlighting personal narratives of those with EDs and particularly men (Doley et al, 2017). Additionally, although there is a lack of consensus regarding the importance of gendered issues in treatment (Dearden & Mulgrew, ; Robinson et al, ; Strother, Lemberg, Stanford, & Turberville, ), men with EDs have expressed a desire for services tailored to their needs in qualitative studies (Räisänen & Hunt, ; Thapliyal & Hay, ). For example, men may prefer all‐male therapeutic groups (Brown, Forney, Pinner, & Keel, ; Greenberg & Schoen, ; Strother et al ) in conjunction with general services.…”

Objective Previous research suggests that men with eating disorders are less likely to seek treatment than are women. Given stereotypes linked to eating disorders, men may be less likely to recognize when they have an eating disorder, which could act as a barrier to treatment‐seeking. Method The current study examined differences in self‐recognition and treatment‐seeking behavior by gender, controlling for other covariates, in participants with probable DSM‐5 eating disorders drawn from a larger community‐based sample. Results Being female and self‐recognition were both associated with increased likelihood of treatment‐seeking while accounting for other potential covariates, including race/ethnicity, age, BMI, and comorbid disorders. Discussion Results indicate that self‐recognition is a barrier to seeking treatment for both genders and does not account for help‐seeking differences between women and men. Findings have implications for interventions to address barriers to treatment‐seeking for eating disorders.

“…Taking a systems thinking approach means that research should consider the perspectives of stakeholders other than those with eating disorders, including clinicians and service managers (e.g., Cain, Buck, Fuller-Tyszkiewicz, & Krug, 2017;Dearden & Mulgrew, 2013) and policy-makers. Such stakeholders hold important insights into the operation of the system, especially for higher system levels.…”

Treatment access remains low for people with eating disorders. In addressing the complexity inherent in this challenge, this article introduces systems thinking and argues that it could provide new insights. Systems thinking views behavior as an emergent property of a system and considers the relationships between technical, organizational, and social components. Several methods used in safety science incorporate this thinking. For example, AcciMap draws focus to the influence of decisions and actions made across hierarchical levels of a system, including those by government, regulatory bodies, management, services, and individuals. By examining the findings of the existing literature on barriers to eating disorder treatment access according to these levels, it is evident that most identified barriers relate to individuals and that further research is needed to consider the influence of high‐level stakeholders. Research using systems thinking should consider the causal networks of influence from government, regulatory, and organizational decisions and actions through to outcomes for clinicians and individuals. The understanding of how barriers operate within specific healthcare systems also warrants investigation. Systems thinking is yet to be formally applied in the area of eating disorders and thus represents an opportunity to inform the development and implementation of more effective, system wide interventions.

“…Multi-site studies are needed to ensure adequate sampling and to allow empirical investigations regarding how to improve clinical practices in screening, assessment, and differential care for older men suffering from an eating disorder. Recent qualitative research on treatment experiences has highlighted the need to raise awareness and mental health literacy about men's eating issues in both the lay public and among health professionals, and clearly outline stigma as an obstacle to help-seeking among males [73][74][75][76]. Owing to prevailing societal stereotypes of eating disorders as conditions exclusive to youth and female gender, men aged midlife and beyond might be the most stigmatized group to suffer from an eating disorder.…”
