Laying the groundwork for a culturally sensitive pediatric primary care eating disorders intervention for the Latino community: insights from focus groups
Focus group insights guided the development of the first draft of FAST-TCA, an initial cultural adaptation of FAST-DE. This study demonstrates the utility of community-engaged methods in enhancing the cultural relevance of ED/DE interventions. The next phase of the cultural adaptation will occur following the pilot implementation of FAST-TCA, where additional feedback from adolescents and caregivers will inform further refinement of the intervention.
