Real-world patient outcomes for telehealth-delivered, remote eating disorder treatment: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Only 30% of individuals with eating disorders receive specialized treatment. While preliminary evidence suggests that telehealth-delivered, remote eating disorder treatment may offer improved accessibility with similar effectiveness to in-person treatment, research on these services remains limited, particularly regarding the communities that are disproportionately affected by barriers to standard care. This scoping review sought to map the existing research on real-world patient outcomes in remote eating disorder treatment, identify knowledge gaps, and prioritize areas for future studies.

Methods

This review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews. It comprises observational evaluations of telehealth-delivered, remote eating disorder
