One year later, the organization had received multiple benefits from the research:
- Their eating disorder recognition & treatment was dramatically improved
- Better identification of previously-undetected co-occurring disorders helped patients remain sober
- The treatment effectiveness data in INSIGHT's annual Treatment Monitoring Report allowed them to sail through their reaccreditation
- The results gave the Board of Directors confidence to start exploring a major expansion
