Follow-up cohort study compares long-term outcomes of a family-based method for adolescent anorexia nervosa in primary care versus tertiary care, indicating promising results.
Background Anorexia nervosa is a potentially lethal psychiatric disorder characterised by restrictive eating and weight loss. Adolescent patients were treated as outpatients using a novel method which involved coaching the parents to take full responsibility for their child's nutrition. In this follow-up cohort study, we compared the long-term outcomes of patients treated in primary care using the family-based coaching method (FBcM-PC) with those treated in tertiary care using traditional treatment.
