Summary
This study tests whether a personalized digital treatment program is practical and helpful for adolescents aged 15-18 with certain eating disorders. Over 10 weeks, participants use an online program with weekly therapist contact and complete questionnaires about their symptoms and well-being. The goal is to see if this approach works in routine care and who benefits most.
