| Abstract: | Current treatment guidelines recommend that inpatients with eating disorders—particularly adolescents with anorexia nervosa—should receive treatment at facilities within close distance to their home. However, whether distance to home actually influences short- and long-term treatment outcome in adolescents with anorexia nervosa has not been investigated yet. We re-analyzed data at admission, discharge, and 1-year follow up from a recent study with N = 142 female, adolescent inpatients with anorexia nervosa. Distance to home did not moderate changes in body weight, eating disorder symptoms, depressive symptoms, compulsive exercise, and life satisfaction. This is the first analysis that indicates that specialized inpatient treatment for adolescents with anorexia nervosa is effective both close to and away from home. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
