Brief Summary:
This study will use a data base of archived therapy sessions of family therapy for adolescent anorexia nervosa to determine the role of fidelity to treatment and outcome. In addition, it will develop a novel, more efficient way to train therapists in family therapy for adolescent anorexia nervosa and examine if it is feasible to conduct a trial comparing this novel training to standard, more intensive training.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Feasibility [ Time Frame: end of treatment (approximately 1.5 years after beginning training) ]
    The primary outcome will be feasibility (e.g., recruitment, attrition, assessment battery, resource costs) to conduct a sufficiently powered comparative study.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Fidelity [ Time Frame: Session 4, end of training (approximately 1.5 years after beginning training) ]
    Secondary outcomes include exploring differences in therapist fidelity and relationships between fidelity and patient outcomes between these two groups (e.g., fidelity and weight change at session 4).
