Pre‐Treatment Specialist Interventions Improve Parents' Self‐Efficacy and Their Children's Eating Disorder Symptomology Before Commencing Outpatient Treatment
Our findings suggest that a pre-treatment programme yields significant improvements in parental self-efficacy, which is key to effective treatment of EDs in young people. Additionally, modest but meaningful improvements to young people's weight and psychopathology are achievable before families commence an evidence-based outpatient treatment.
