The National Eating Disorders Framework standards schema includes seven core principles and four implementation principles which, if implemented together, provide the foundation for an effective and consistent system to address eating disorders. The principles of prevention and treatment focus on access to comprehensive, coordinated approaches that provide individually tailored pathways that can be consistently implemented. The principles are predicated on the need to be informed by evidence from research and the lived experience.
