Summary

This study tests whether adding a peer coach or parent coach to standard eating disorder therapy helps teens aged 12-18 recover faster. 70 participants will receive 12 weeks of therapy plus either a parent coach with patient education materials or patient coaching with parent education materials. The goal is to see if extra support outside therapy improves self-efficacy and eases the emotional burden on caregivers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
peer coaching and educational materials
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a low-cost way to boost recovery skills and reduce caregiver burden during eating disorder treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (70 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. Coaching adds extra time and effort, and benefits may be modest.
