Evaluation of Efficacy of Empirically Supported Eating Disorder Treatment

As part of treatment at AEDC, we conduct regular monitoring of symptoms using online measures. This way, we can track individual treatment progress. However, we are also interested in what leads to eating disorder treatment success on average. Upon enrolling at the AEDC, your clinician will describe this study to you and you can determine if you want your treatment progress to be examined with others to see which treatments work the best for the most people. All information that you provide will remain confidential.
