A Group Intervention for Parents of Autistic Young People With Anorexia Nervosa: An Exploration of How Parents Make Sense of and Integrate Concepts From the Group Into Family Life
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this study is to understand how a group intervention for parents of autistic young people with co-occurring anorexia nervosa informs how parents support their child's recovery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How do parents interpret and understand the concepts learnt in the group intervention? How do parents apply this to day to day family life? 2. How do parents understand how autism impacts their child's recovery from anorexia nervosa? 3. How do parents make sense of their role in supporting their child's recovery? Participants will be invited to take part in an interview about their experience of attending the group intervention and applying the concepts to their family life.
