Summary

This study tests whether a virtual therapy guided by parents can help teens with anorexia nervosa while reducing long wait times for treatment. About 90 families will take part, with parents leading sessions using a structured program. The goal is to see if this approach eases symptoms and works well in real-world clinics.
