Sponsor's own description
There is a gap in the literature about the feasibility and implementation of parent-led support groups for parents who have children or adolescents with eating disorders. In this study, we will be observing the experiences of 40 parents in Ontario who will virtually participate in one of 3 parent-led support groups for parents of children and youth with eating disorders. Parents will be expected to attend the virtual sessions twice a month over the course of six months. We hope to evaluate the acceptability, cost, and parental outcomes of the parent-led support groups via surveys before, during, and after the study, as well as using a post-study interview.
