简要总结
There is a gap in the literature about the feasibility and implementation of parent-led support groups for parents who have children or adolescents with eating disorders. In this study, we will be observing the experiences of 40 parents in Ontario who will virtually participate in one of 3 parent-led support groups for parents of children and youth with eating disorders. Parents will be expected to attend the virtual sessions twice a month over the course of six months. We hope to evaluate the acceptability, cost, and parental outcomes of the parent-led support groups via surveys before, during, and after the study, as well as using a post-study interview.

结局指标
主要结局
Cost
时间窗: 12 months after baseline
To assess cost, we will collect data on the costs of the technology, software, and time (of parents and the facilitator).
Number of support groups each parent attends
时间窗: 6 months after baseline
We will take note of how many support groups the parent attends in a 6 month period.
Change in number of parents who remain in the support group
时间窗: Baseline and 6 months later
We will compare the number of parents who initially sign up for the support group to how many parents have stayed in the support group 6 months later.
次要结局
- Change in Parental Self Efficacy and Collaboration(Baseline, 3 months, 6 months)
- Change in Carer Burden(Baseline, 3 months, 6 months)
