Unique Website Approach For Eating Disorder Information Just Launched

02.02.2010 | Author: Dr Jeff Desarbo | Posted in Eating Disorders

While most websites for eating disorders are either created by patients, laypeople, treatment centers, or organizations, the Eating Disorder News Network (EDNN) at www.EatingDisorderNews.com is produced by medical and therapeutic specialists in the field of eating disorder treatment. Jeffrey DeSarbo, D.O., a Board Certified psychiatrist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders on Long Island, N.Y., has developed this new website for patients, their friends and family, therapists, physicians and researchers who seek up-to-date information on conditions such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder and body dysmorphic disorder.

The website, called The Eating Disorder News Network (EDNN), is a unique and major undertaking as it uses video as the primary mode of information distribution. “It’s like CNN meets YouTube for eating disorders,” describes Dr. DeSarbo. In medical specialty fields such as that found with eating disorder care, there is a significant amount of new research published every month. Some of these important studies are published in the one or two major professional journals, but the majority of the studies and reports are dispersed in numerous medical journals throughout the world. Because of this, nearly every treatment provider, not mention the public, never gets access to this information unless they attend the few national and international conferences held annually, and then they still only get a portion of what is being discovered.

As a specialist in the treatment of eating disorders, Dr. DeSarbo’s interest in remaining up-to-date with eating disorder research led him to begin production of a newsletter for the profession. The EDNN website was created because Dr. DeSarbo felt that to keep treatment providers and the public on the cutting edge of information, it would be necessary to get this information out there in a form consistent with how people currently rely on getting their news: online, with multimedia, concise, and current. “We live in a YouTube generation and to educate it helps to find a method to capture and maintain interests,” says Dr. DeSarbo. “With our site, people get to see and hear from the leaders in the field.”

While the EDNN website was originally conceived as a way to report on the most recent published research, Dr. DeSarbo later expanded the project to include video interviews with leading physicians, therapists, nutritionists and counselors throughout the world who specialize in treating eating disorders. The EDNN website has separate sections for 1) patients, 2) Friends and Family, 3) Treatment Providers and 4) Special Highlights which includes videos from people in recovery, coverage from conferences and other special topics. Each week, the videos change and past videos are moved into a comprehensive archive section.

Other features of the site include video tours of inpatient treatment centers, training videos and conferences, a resource section, and a referral center for treatment providers. Under development are sections including a professional community bulletin board and an online art gallery featuring work from patients who have suffered from an eating disorder.

The Eating Disorder News Network domain on the web is www.EatingDisorderNews.com and Dr. DeSarbo’s personal website may be found at www.DrDeSarbo.com.
