The Anna Westin Act of 2015 (H.R. 2515, S. 1865), is a proposed bill which is aimed at training school officials and healthcare professionals on how to identify those with eating disorders and on how to intervene. 30 million Americans suffer from eating disorders. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate out of any mental illness and affects women 2.5 times more than men. Additionally, eating disorders research to improve identification and treatment is limited. Eating disorder research receives some of the lowest amounts of research funding compared to all other diseases at $30 research dollars per person affected versus $188 research dollars for Autism and $682 research dollars for Breast Cancer.
