Summary
This trial will investigate how effective and acceptable peer mentors are in helping youth with an eating disorder transition from youth-oriented to adult-oriented treatment. Participants, their carers and peer mentors will be interviewed.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young people aged 16-24 in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, or Prince Edward Island with an eating disorder diagnosis. They should be transitioning to adult treatment and not at high suicide risk. Participants must understand English well and give consent.
What is being tested?
The study tests if peer mentors can help youths transition to adult eating disorder treatments effectively. It involves a 3-6 month mentorship, questionnaires before, after, and a year later, plus interviews about the care transition experience.
What are the potential side effects?
There are no medical side effects as this is not a drug trial; however, participants may experience emotional or psychological impacts from discussing their experiences with eating disorders during interviews.
