What works for adolescents with AN? A systematic review of psychosocial interventions
1The Institute for Access Studies, Staffordshire University, Stoke-on-Trent, UK. sjftierney@yahoo.co.uk
Objective:
To determine the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for adolescents with AN.
Methods:
An extensive and systematic literature search was conducted for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) addressing the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for teenagers (11-18 years) with AN.
Results:
Eight RCTs were located meeting the review's inclusion criteria, the majority of which focused on some form of family-related intervention.
Discussion:
Unfortunately, a lack of robust primary research on which to base the review meant that clear recommendations could not be made. More good quality research, examining a range of interventions, and involving larger samples, is required before a similar systematic review is executed.
