Section 527. 

Title: Eating Disorders in Veterans: 

Prevalence, Comorbidity, Risk, and 

Healthcare Use. 

OMB Control Number: 2900—NEW. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Abstract: Eating disorders (EDs), 

including anorexia nervosa, bulimia 

nervosa, and binge eating disorder, are 

deadly conditions that can be difficult 

to detect and treat. EDs are typically not 

screened for or treated within the VA 

healthcare system, possibly because 

many people believe that since Veterans 

are mostly male, they are not affected by 

these disorders. The Department of 

Defense recently put out a call for grants 

to investigate EDs in military service 

members and Veterans, and our 

proposal is currently under review. Our 

proposal also aligns with VA Health 

Services Research & Development 

funding Priority F (Women’s Health) for 

Investigator-Initiated Research, which 

emphasizes investigating the unique 

needs of female Veterans. EDs are an 

issue for male and female Veterans; 

however, they disproportionately 

impact women. Third, our aims address 

the recommendations of the 2012 

Women Veterans Task Force to resolve 

gaps in serving women Veterans. 

Further, Legal authority for this data 

collection is found under 38 U.S.C., Part 

I, Chapter 5, Section 527 that authorizes 

the collection of data that will allow 

measurement and evaluation of the 

Department of Veterans Affairs 

Programs, the goal of which is improved 

health care for Veterans. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 

Risk and Protective Factors for Eating 

Disorders and Healthcare Use Survey— 

1,750 hours. 

Eating Disorder Examination—480 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 

Risk and Protective Factors for Eating 

Disorders and Healthcare Use Survey— 

50 minutes. 

Eating Disorder Examination—120 

minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

Risk and Protective Factors for Eating 

Disorders and Healthcare Use Survey— 

2,100. 

Eating Disorder Examination—240.
