The one comment I would like to make to support the comments that Merryl Bear at NEDIC made is that certainly in my area, as a person who specializes in prevention research, toward the early and mid part of my career, I had funding from women's...[Inaudible--Editor]...funding agencies. When those funding bodies were depleted or no longer existed, my eating disorder research funding fell by the wayside as well.
I very much benefited from those funding sources. I really think there's a misunderstanding about eating disorders. This is not just a women's health issue. Eating disorders affect all of us. We need to be under the tent of mental health and addiction, and we need to be under the tent of other health initiatives that are being discussed across the federal level.
