Summary

This study looks at whether children aged 8-13 with early onset anorexia nervosa can do just as well with a shorter hospital stay followed by day treatment (going home at night) compared to staying in the hospital full-time. The goal is to see if this approach is as effective for weight gain and overall health, while being less disruptive to school and family life. About 88 children will take part, and their progress will be tracked for one year.
