Pregnancy Screening WVU

Caption

Although rapid screening tools exist to help doctors identify patients with eating disorders, none have been developed and verified for use with pregnant patients specifically. That’s a problem because, when pregnancy and disordered eating intersect, unique experiences can arise. A team of WVU researchers—led by Elizabeth Claydon, an assistant professor in the School of Public Health—are pursuing a solution.
