Early Intervention for Eating Disorders in Ontario Integrated Youth Services: Best Practices for Implementation, Adaptation, Evaluation and Spread
EF 2022-23
Résumé
Eating disorders (EDs) are common and deadly: 1.4 million youth across Canada have an ED, putting them at a five-fold risk of death. The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on this long-standing public health crisis, with skyrocketing rates of EDs and unprecedented spikes in hospital admissions and emergency room visits. Early intervention has been shown to be essential for treating EDs successfully, but Canada's health care system is not set up to quickly identify and treat EDs.
The ideal setting to detect and treat EDs early is using an integrated model of care that addresses and coordinates mental, physical, and social needs all in one place. The First Episode Rapid Early Intervention for Eating Disorders (FREED) program is an evidence-based model for youth aged 16-25 years that has been adopted widely in the UK. It has also been adapted for community-based integrated youth settings in Australia and shows promise to do the same in Ontario's Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO) sites: a one-stop-shop integrating mental health, primary care, peer support, care navigation, education and other health and community supports.
Ontario Ministry of Health has funded the implementation of the FREED model in two YWHO sites and this project aims to leverage this investment by understanding and evaluating this implementation. Evidence borne from this work will support the spread and scale of this model across all 22 Ontario YWHO sites. We will accomplish this by:
1.Establishing the CanFREED Implementation Network of multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral stakeholders from Ontario and across Canada,
2.Leverage a learning health system to co-build evidence of the FREED model in real-world settings,
3.Partner early with stakeholders to support adoption both locally and provincially.
4.Mobilize knowledge on ED system transformation to promote spread and scale across Canada.
5.Contribute to evidence on implementation science specific to integrated care models for EDs.

Abstract
Eating disorders (EDs) are common and deadly: 1.4 million youth across Canada have an ED, putting them at a five-fold risk of death. The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on this long-standing public health crisis, with skyrocketing rates of EDs and unprecedented spikes in hospital admissions and emergency room visits. Early intervention has been shown to be essential for treating EDs successfully, but Canada's health care system is not set up to quickly identify and treat EDs.
The ideal setting to detect and treat EDs early is using an integrated model of care that addresses and coordinates mental, physical, and social needs all in one place. The First Episode Rapid Early Intervention for Eating Disorders (FREED) program is an evidence-based model for youth aged 16-25 years that has been adopted widely in the UK. It has also been adapted for community-based integrated youth settings in Australia and shows promise to do the same in Ontario's Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO) sites: a one-stop-shop integrating mental health, primary care, peer support, care navigation, education and other health and community supports.
Ontario Ministry of Health has funded the implementation of the FREED model in two YWHO sites and this project aims to leverage this investment by understanding and evaluating this implementation. Evidence borne from this work will support the spread and scale of this model across all 22 Ontario YWHO sites. We will accomplish this by:
