Summary

This study tests whether a new treatment called Family-Based Treatment for Primary Care (FBT-PC) can help children and teens with restrictive eating disorders. Instead of seeing a specialist, families work with their regular primary care provider, with support from a mental health expert. The study will enroll 200 participants to see if this approach is practical and acceptable.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Family-Based Treatment for Primary Care (FBT-PC) - a behavioral intervention delivered by primary care providers
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make effective eating disorder treatment more accessible by offering it in primary care clinics rather than specialty mental health settings.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study, not a large effectiveness trial. It may not show that FBT-PC works as well as standard treatment, and results may not apply to all clinics or patients.
