Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, efficiency, and patient experience of a new intervention program on adolescents with high-complexity eating disorders (ED). A prospective group of adolescents with ED (N=60) will follow this treatment program including four different phases: 1) Inpatient treatment; 2) Family Treatment Apartment; 3) Home Treatment; 4) Recovery within the community. The investigators will use a retrospective, control group (N=60) that matched the prospective group in age, sex, ED diagnosis, and severe symptomatology. Primary variables regarding Body Mass Index (BMI), ED symptomatology, functionality, recovery (yes/no), type of outpatient services (low/mid/high intensity), number of readmissions, and patient experience will be assessed at discharge, and after 6 and 12 months. Secondary variables include anxiety, depression, readiness to recover, quality of life symptoms, caregiver skills, and functionality of the family
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of GGTCA-AD to decrease the maladaptive beliefs associated with eating disorders (ED) in non-clinical adolescent population. Specifically, a randomized controlled trial with parallel design and two groups (experimental and control) will be carried out in adolescents aged 13-15 years to assess the changes pre and post use of the app. It is expected that after the use of the GGTCA-AD app for 14 days, at the primary level, a: decrease in the degree of ascription to dysfunctional beliefs associated with ED; and at the secondary level: increase in body satisfaction and self-esteem; decrease in eating symptomatology; and no changes in emotional symptomatology. These results are also expected to be maintained in subsequent follow-up at 1 month.
This qualitative study, combining psychiatric and anthropological perspectives, focused on the development and/or worsening of patients' eating disorders since Covid-19, as well as the experiences and perceptions of those around them - such as their family, teachers or staff. School and nursing staff. This multi-site approach will provide a multidimensional perspective on the experience of individuals and those around them, as well as a triangulation of data. The hypotheses to explain the increase in Eating Disorders (EDs) will be addressed through semi-structured interviews offered to study participants.
Aims of the study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ChildTalks+ intervention and to implement it in education and practice. By delivering the ChildTalks+ intervention, i.e. educating parents about the transgenerational transmission of the disorder, informing them about the impact on their children, strengthening their parenting competencies, supporting communication within the family and informing COPMI about their parents' mental disorder, listening to their needs and providing emotional and social support to the family, the investigators expect the following outcomes: improved family communication, including children's awareness of their parents' mental health problems, improved overall well-being of COPMI, heightened perceptions of parental competence, increased family protective factors, including strengthened social support, sustained over time. Part of the intervention consists of early identification of social-emotional problems in children and referral for further professional help. The research questions the investigators will focus on are: - What are the effects of the ChildTalks+ intervention in families where parents have a mental health disorder? - Is the ChildTalks+ intervention feasible for therapists who treat patients with mental disorder? - Is the ChildTalks+ intervention feasible in families where one parent has an eating disorder? - Should the ChildTalks+ intervention be modified for this group of families where parent has an eating disorders?
This study offers to determine whether adolescent patients with a restrictive eating disorder have variations in their sensoriality compared to a control group.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of oral naltrexone tablets in pediatric and adolescent eating disorders, in particular anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, as compared to placebo. Study participants will be patients in a partial hospitalization program or intensive outpatient program for eating disorder.
Teenagers with eating disorders often experience a disruption in care upon turning 18. At this age, they are no longer eligible to receive pediatric treatment but are also not yet set up with the appropriate adult services. There are currently no supports in place to help youth with eating disorders and their families during this transition from child to adult care. In this project, the investigators will be implementing an intervention designed to improve this transition experience; it will include peer support, parent education, a meeting with the child and adult care providers, contact with the family doctor, and a written guide about the transition. Among 10 adolescent-parent pairs leaving McMaster Children's Hospital to adult programs in Hamilton, Ontario, the investigators will assess how feasible the intervention is to implement, how feasible the chosen measures are, participants' experience of the intervention, how many adolescents actually transition to adult care, as well as a few adolescent and parent outcomes, such as how prepared the teen feels or what the parents' needs are.
This study aims to improve eating disorders symptomatology, mental, psychosocial and physical health, quality of life, strength and body composition of adolescents with eating disorders by the development of a dog-assisted therapy program. The current research will involve thirty-two patients distributed equally in a control and an experimental group. The intervention group will participate once a week in a dog-assisted therapy of seven weeks. Moreover, all the included patients will participate in an assessment session before and after the intervention to compare the effects of the dog-assisted therapy within and between groups in anxiety, depression, character, behavior, eating disorder evolution, health-related quality of life, treatment satisfaction, strength and body composition. Based on previous studies on different populations, it is expected that, compared to the control group, the experimental group may experience a potential reduction in anxiety, depression and symptoms, while improving quality of life, strength, body composition and behavior.
This study will evaluate the impact of a program (called mind. body. voice. or "mbv") that was collaboratively designed by youth, educators, and researchers, informed by the Body Project (Becker et al., 2013; Stice et al., 2019), Youth Participatory Action Research, an extended co-design process, and previous iterations of the mbv program. The study evaluates the impact of the mbv program on key aspects of mental health and well-being; specifically, body image and disordered eating symptoms, identity and agency, social and self-constructs, physical health and mood at three time points over the course of the 10-week program, which will be offered remotely in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students will be recruited from high schools and will be randomized to receive the mbv program or an assessment-only control group.

The study evaluates the impact of the mbv program on key aspects of mental health and well-being; specifically, body image and disordered eating symptoms, identity and agency, social and self-constructs, physical health and mood at five time points over the course of a year. Students will be recruited from two high schools and will be randomized to receive the mbv program or an assessment-only control group.
