Abstract

Despite availability of evidence-based treatments for eating disorders (EDs), individuals with EDs often do not receive informed treatment. Training of non-specialized clinicians by experienced professionals through knowledge exchange (KE) programs is an effective way to enhance accessibility to evidence-based treatments for EDs. The authors conducted a qualitative analysis of factors that facilitated or impeded the uptake of an ED-focused KE program. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with mental health professionals (n = 43) and managers (n = 11) at 13 community mental-health sites at which the KE program was offered. Data were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. Key facilitators identified were management support for the program and building competence through ongoing supervision of clinicians. Main barriers were limited access to ED patients to treat and having insufficient time to apply ED interventions in front-line settings. The results provide insights into the practical imperatives involved in implementing a KE initiative for ED treatment.
