Online guided family self-help for teens with anorexia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an online, guided “self-help” program that involves the family helps teens with anorexia recover better than usual care. It aims to improve eating and reduce anorexia symptoms while being delivered from home.
