Concerning formal training on eating disorders among boys and men, 14.0% and 25.8% reported such training during or after their education, respectively. Participants who received formal training reported that it improved their clinical work with boys and men with eating disorders. Participants reported a variety of training needs, most notably a need to understand unique risk factors and symptom presentations.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants' overall report low knowledge and confidence for treating boys and men with eating disorders or muscle dysmorphia.
