This research study is testing family-based therapy—a treatment where family members are actively involved in helping a young person recover from an eating disorder. Researchers want to understand which young patients benefit most from this type of therapy, and which patients might need different or more intensive care instead.
Eating disorders in children and adolescents are serious conditions, but doctors don't yet have clear answers about which patients respond best to family-based treatment and at what point in therapy they can predict recovery. This study aims to fill that gap and help doctors tailor treatment to each young person's needs.

If you join this study, you would receive family-based therapy for your eating disorder at a mental health center in Copenhagen. Researchers would track your progress over time using information gathered at your initial assessment and during regular treatment visits to understand how the therapy is working for you and your family.
