Shorter hospital stays with day treatment may help kids with anorexia recover better

This study looks at whether children aged 8-13 with early onset anorexia nervosa can be treated with a shorter hospital stay followed by day treatment (going home at night) instead of staying in the hospital full-time. The goal is to see if this approach works just as well for weight gain and is easier for kids and families. About 88 children will take part, and their progress will be tracked for one year.
