Development and initial pilot validation of a treatment fidelity instrument for family-based interoceptive exposure for adolescents with low-weight eating disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This pilot study outlines the development and psychometric evaluation of a therapist adherence coding measure for a novel treatment, Family-Based Treatment Interoceptive Exposure (FBT-IE).

Methods

The IE Adherence Coding Framework (IE-ACF) was developed from the FBT-IE Manual using an iterative process. Items on the IE-ACF were coded by two independent coders as either present or absent with therapists considered adherent if both independent coders coded the item as "present." Videotaped sessions of FBT-IE of 30 adolescents with low-weight eating disorders (DSM-5 typical/atypical anorexia nervosa) and their families were coded. Participants received the FBT-IE intervention as part of a randomized controlled trial.

Results

Seventy FBT-IE videos were coded. T
