Abstract
Objective: To evaluate New South Wales (NSW) psychiatrists' and psychiatry trainees' knowledge and attitudes towards eating disorders (EDs).
Method: A total of 1781 psychiatrists and trainees in NSW were invited to complete an anonymous questionnaire assessing ED confidence, knowledge and attitudes.
Results: A total of 51 doctors responded to the survey, with 38 completing all items. Significant knowledge gaps were revealed. Respondents expressed a desire for more ED training.
Conclusion: Enhanced ED training in psychiatry education and incorporating the lived experience voice to improve attitudes appear necessary.
