Participants receiving PED-t
Therapists and management in ERC offering PED-t
Participants, i.e. females with bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder, are recruited for therapy in the trained ERC. The treatment program consists of 20 behavioral therapy sessions covering 16 weeks, and with single follow-up sessions at 2-, and 4- months post-therapy. Participants are interviewed on the expectations to- and experiences from having therapy in the ECR, and monitored and evaluated on therapy effectiveness (i.e. diagnostic outcomes).
Employees in the ECR and the management will be trained in giving PED-t in their facility, and will then perform therapy with a single group of participants recruited. Therapists/employees trained in PED-t will be interviewed about their expectations to- and experiences from giving the PED-t, and also being monitored according to therapy manual fidelity. The management at the facility offering PED-t will be interviewed about their experiences on administration and implementation of the PED-t in their facility.
