REACH+ is a program designed to help people with anorexia nervosa avoid relapse after hospital treatment. The trial tests five key components—behavioral practice, mindful thinking, personal motivation, food monitoring, and skill practice—to see which ones matter most for staying healthy long-term. You'll work with a therapist over 6 months to build habits that support recovery.
Many people with anorexia nervosa relapse in the months right after leaving the hospital, when they're especially vulnerable. Right now, doctors don't know which specific treatment approaches work best to prevent this relapse, so this trial is testing different combinations to find what actually helps.

You'll attend 45-minute video therapy sessions with a therapist who will help you practice eating, manage difficult thoughts, identify your personal reasons for recovery, and track your meals. You'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups—one will keep detailed food logs throughout the 6 months, while the other will only log food for part of the time. The whole program lasts about 6 months after you leave the hospital, which is when relapse risk is highest.
