Summary

This study tests a structured program called TransitionED designed to help youth aged 16+ with eating disorders move from pediatric to adult healthcare. The program includes planning packages, guided meetings, and a personal profile to share with new providers. Researchers will check if the program is practical and acceptable in real hospital settings, involving 60 youth, their caregivers, and clinicians.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a practical, evidence-based model to improve care transitions for youth with eating disorders, reducing gaps in treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small feasibility study (60 participants) with no control group, so it cannot prove the program improves health outcomes. Results may not apply to all settings.
