Systematic early support to keep adults with eating disorders engaged in care

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa often lead to long delays or loss to follow-up before specialized care begins. This monocentric, low-risk interventional pilot at the CMME (GHU Paris Psychiatrie & Neurosciences) offers a minimal early intervention consisting of three structured telephone contacts (around days 7, 45 and 90 after request validation) and five online support group sessions during the waiting period. The study will compare care engagement outcomes to determine whether this package reduces the proportion of patients who are lost before starting treatment and will measure acceptability of the approach. Eligible participants are adults (≥18) residing in Île-de-France who have requested specialized eating-disorder care and can communicate by telephone in French.
