Abstract
Evidence suggests First Nations people in Australia may experience a higher burden of eating disorders (EDs) than the broader Australian population. EDs are among the most debilitating and lethal mental health conditions; however, little is known about the unique considerations for First Nations people experiencing EDs, especially around best practices. This policy scoping review aims to map the current recommendations for managing EDs specific to First Nations peoples and to identify further research opportunities. We conducted targeted searches of electronic databases and health websites (n = 53) for policies, reports, toolkits/guidelines, and fact sheets that contained any information regarding First Nations peoples and ED to identify and select papers as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Target groups included ED-specific bodies, various National and State Government departments, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs), and other relevant services. Included documents were analysed using Both-Ways Collaborative Yarning and Reflexive Thematic Analysis. We identified 398 eligible documents; after double screening by two researchers, 19 documents were included in our review. Our analysis revealed a distinct need for recommendations for the prevention and management of EDs specific to First Nations peoples. The included documents focus on (a) the potential drivers for EDs, (b) the significant research deficit, and (c) recommendations for future research to inform practice. Our analysis found no clear policy recommendations for the prevention or management of EDs specific to First Nations peoples. Further, research and policies specific to First Nations peoples and communities around EDs are sorely needed. Additionally, this work must be led, informed by and involve the meaningful inclusion of First Nations peoples. We know that First Nations Australians are more likely to experience an eating disorder than the general Australian population. Despite this, there is little research on what the experience of an eating disorder may be like for a First Nations person, nor how best to help a First Nations person heal from an eating disorder. We looked at all the policy documents we could find that discussed both First Nations peoples’ health and eating disorders. It was difficult to find policies that were specifically about eating disorders for First Nations people. Instead, we found a lot of policies that said that not enough is known about how to address eating disorders among First Nations communities. Lack of research seems to have stopped anyone from making policy and practice recommendations that could help stop First Nations people from having an eating disorder or help them heal and recover. In this paper, we summarise the information that we found in the policies we read. More research and action is needed to determine how best to help prevent eating disorders in First Nations people, how to help First Nations people with eating disorders heal, and how to put this knowledge into practice.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
