Most people think that eating disorders only affect adolescent females. Despite this statistic, most of the existing research has been conducted on females.
Studies indicate that very few men actually receive treatment for their eating difficulties.
This could be due to health care professionals' poor ability to recognise eating disorders in men. It may be that men are less willing to seek treatment. Whatever the reasons, every effort needs to be made to ensure that men have an equal opportunity to access treatment services. The following survey has been designed to find out the attitudes, of men with eating difficulties, toward seeking professional help. If you are male and are concerned about your eating behaviour and would like to help fill the gap in the research on men with eating disorders, please take the time to fill out the following questionnaire.
