Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| At the beginning and at the end of their treatment, all participants completed the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) as a measure of eating disorder psychopathology with a global score and the four subscales Restraint, Eating Concern, Weight Concern, and Shape Concern. They also completed the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) with a global score and three subscales (avoidance, hyperarousal, and intrusion) in order to assess symptoms of post-traumatic stress. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increases in Body Mass Index over time (T0-T1) were calculated for participants who were underweight before treatment. Patients underwent regular supervised weight controls. Subjective benefit of the intervention received was estimated by all participants on a 0-10 scale at T1. Cases of treatment discontinuation were assessed in both groups. | — |
