A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the potential adverse side effects of family-based therapy (FBT) for anorexia nervosa in children and adolescents, focusing on family functioning and parent-child relationships. It aims to quantitatively assess changes in parental stress, family dynamics, emotion regulation, and attachment levels over the course of treatment. Additionally, the study will qualitatively explore the experiences of both young patients and their parents during FBT. The findings will help generate hypotheses for future modifications to FBT that could reduce negative impacts on family relationships.
