Eating Disorders in the Latino Community: Provider Considerations

There is a significant stigma around eating disorders in the Latino community, which prevent them to disclose eating disorder symptoms due to shame and guilt feelings. Establishing connection and rapport using the cultural values of personalismo and familismo can help health care providers to assess the eating disorder in a cultural appropriate manner. This webinar is designed to discuss how health care providers can integrate key cultural values in the Latino community during the identification and initial assessment of eating disorders.
