目的:食物不安全与进食障碍精神病理学有关。该焦点描述了为什么食品储藏室可以成为传播和实施饮食失调干预措施的有希望的合作伙伴。
方法:研究人员越来越多地与社区组织合作,以改善获得健康干预措施的机会。因为以社区为基础的组织通过物理嵌入他们所服务的社区来克服传统医疗保健的结构性障碍,方便参观,经常光顾,由值得信赖的社区成员领导。
结果:我们描述了我们与合作伙伴确定的策略,以传播和实施我们对暴饮暴食的数字干预措施;我们还讨论了我们如何支持食品储藏室的需求,以改善伙伴关系的相互关系。
结论:与食品储藏室合作的潜在好处使这一领域有待进一步探索。未来的研究方向包括深入参与食品储藏室,以确定储藏室如何从传播和实施饮食失调干预措施中受益,以及如何以非污名化的方式进行干预,他们需要什么资源来可持续地支持这些努力,客人愿意并能够参与哪些饮食失调干预模式,需要什么样的干预适应,这样有食物不安全的人就可以有意义地参与饮食失调干预,以及哪些实施战略有助于随着时间的推移可持续地采取干预措施。
OBJECTIVE: Food insecurity is associated with eating disorder psychopathology. This Spotlight describes why food pantries could be promising partners for disseminating and implementing eating disorder interventions.
METHODS: Researchers are increasingly collaborating with community-based organizations to improve access to health interventions, because community-based organizations overcome structural barriers to traditional healthcare by being embedded physically in the communities they serve, convenient to visit, regularly frequented, and led by trusted community members.
RESULTS: We describe strategies we have identified with our partner to disseminate and implement our digital intervention for binge eating; we also discuss ways we support the pantry\'s needs to improve the mutuality of the partnership.
CONCLUSIONS: The potential benefits of partnerships with food pantries make this an area to explore further. Future research directions include deeply engaging with food pantries to determine how pantries benefit from disseminating and implementing eating disorder interventions and how to intervene in non-stigmatizing ways, what resources they need to sustainably support these efforts, what eating disorder intervention modalities guests are willing and able to engage with, what intervention adaptations are needed so individuals with food insecurity can meaningfully engage in eating disorder intervention, and what implementation strategies facilitate uptake to intervention sustainably over time.
