Families tackling adolescent anorexia nervosa: family wellbeing in family-based treatment or other interventions. A scoping review

CONCLUSION: The available research suggests no difference between intervention types regarding impact on family wellbeing. Approximately half of the studies find improvements in family wellbeing in both treatment with and without parent-led refeeding, while the same proportion find neither improvement nor deterioration. As parents play a pivotal role in FBT, there is a need for good quality studies to elucidate the impact of FBT on family wellbeing. Level of evidence Level V: Opinions of authorities, based on descriptive studies, narrative reviews, clinical experience, or reports of expert committees.PMID:38504003 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-024-01641-z
