In the theoretical part the issue is explained in a broader context. The types of eating disorders and the factors that contribute to the development of these disorders in childhood and adolescence are described. The following section explains the prevention of risk behaviour with a focus on the role of the school and teachers in the primary prevention of eating disorders. The publication describes how teachers can identify eating disorders and suggests their appropriate behaviour towards children with a suspected eating disorder. The book also focuses on the issue of attitudes. The text refers to relevant domestic and international research studies that illustrate the current state of the issue. The theoretical part of the publication defines the research problem, which is to identify the teachers' attitudes to eating disorders. The main research method is the semantic differential applied on a sample of 166 elementary school teachers from various regions of the Czech Republic. The additional method is the semi-structured interview conducted with some teachers from the research sample. The core focus of the publication is the new knowledge concerning the attitudes of elementary school teachers to eating disorders. The results are analysed in terms of the teachers' qualification, gender, age, and length of teaching experience. The final part of the paper summarizes the most important findings and recommendations for the prevention of eating disorders in educational practice. The new findings can also be applied in foreign educational systems. 606 $aSchool education 606 $aEducational psychology 606 $aPersonality 606 $aBehaviorism 606 $aHealth and medicine and law 606 $aSociology of Education 610 $aeating disorders 610 $ateachers? attitudes 610 $ahealth education 610 $aelementary education 610 $aprevention of eating disorders 615 0$aSchool education 615 0$aEducational psychology. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aBehaviorism 615 0$aHealth and medicine and law 615 0$aSociology of Education 700 $aAdámková$b Lenka$01220689 712 02$aCentral and Eastern European Online Library 801 0$bceeol 801 1$bceeol 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557883603321 996 $aThe Attitudes of Elementary School Teachers to Eating Disorders$93032541 997 $aUNINA
