  • Title: Detecting symptoms, early intervention, and preventative education: eating disorders & the school-age child.
    Author: Funari M.
    Journal: NASN Sch Nurse; 2013 May; 28(3):162-6. PubMed ID: 23767233.
    Abstract:
    The health of America's youth is a national priority. With obesity increasing dramatically in adolescents and young children, school lunches have experienced makeovers, and "dieting" and "weight loss" messages have permeated parental concern. Eating disorders among our youth, however, have largely been overlooked despite evidence of its steady increase over the past few decades among younger and younger children. The school nurse can become a resource for parents, students, and teachers in regard to eating disorders and serve in a leadership role advocating for students to live healthy, meaningful lives.
