ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Brief and accessible therapies for people with an eating disorder is an important health target. Ten-session cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-T) is a brief treatment evaluated in people with a non-underweight eating disorder. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of CBT-T for young people in primary care.METHOD:
This cohort pilot study used group (adolescents vs. young adults) by time (over four time points) Generalised Linear Mixed Model analysis. Participants included 13-25-year-olds attending an early intervention mental health service, receiving 10 sessions of CBT-T. Feasibility was assessed using recruitment, retention and satisfaction. Eating and other pathology measures were administered at baseline, weeks four and 10, and 12-week follow-up.RESULTS:
Of the 63 commencing treatment, 38 completed 10 CBT-T sessions (60%). Most (94%) reported high treatment satisfaction. Significant reductions in eating pathology, depression and stress were found. Age group did not yield differences in CBT-T outcome, with large to very large effect sizes across outcome variables. Anxiety was associated with attrition.CONCLUSION:
This study provides preliminary support for the use of CBT-T in primary care, across adolescence and early adulthood. Findings require replication in other clinical settings and comparison to other clinical approaches and control populations.Palavras-chave
