Acute, Longer-Term, and Transdiagnostic Outcomes After Digital Interventions for Eating Disorders

What are the acute, longer-term, and transdiagnostic outcomes associated with digital interventions for eating disorders?This meta-analysis of 36 randomized clinical trials found that digital interventions were associated with moderate effect sizes in core eating disorder symptoms in both the acute and longer-term phases and are associated with transdiagnostic benefits for comorbid mental health symptoms and well-being indicators.These findings highlight the clinical utility of digitally delivered interventions for eating disorders, supporting their use as a scalable, flexible, and inexpensive format for narrowing the treatment gap.
