A Study to Evaluate Primary Care Treatment for Adolescent Eating Disorders
Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of a RCT of a new treatment for children and adolescents with eating disorders characterized by dietary restriction and/or weight loss or failure to gain expected weight. The treatment, which is called Family-Based Treatment for Primary Care (or FBT-PC for short), is based on Family-Based Treatment, the gold standard outpatient eating disorder treatment for children and adolescents.

Interventions
Family Based Treatment-Primary Care
Novel treatment that borrows key intervention strategies from standard family-based treatment. It uses trained primary care providers (PCPs), in consultation with a mental health provider, to deliver family-based treatment strategies in community-based clinics to increase caregiver self-efficacy to reverse their child's dietary restriction and weight loss.
Family-Based Treatment
Delivered by a mental health provider in a traditional mental health or eating disorder specialty setting. First-line evidence-based treatment for adolescent eating disorders that targets caregiver self-efficacy as a mechanism to facilitate weight restoration and ultimately symptom remission in adolescents.
