The International Journal of Eating Disorders publishes a range of study designs that inform use of interventions across prevention, early intervention and treatment. We are keen to feature intervention studies that inform translation of evidence to real-world settings. Outside of the rigorous randomised controlled trial design, there are a variety of designs that can evaluate interventions, and we will discuss the most rigorous statistical approaches to analysis of these data. We will also discuss ways in which clinicians can engage in research in a meaningful and rigorous way in their own clinical settings. The format will be an informal conversation between the two presenters and questions are welcome from the live audience.
This course is based on the video, Publishable Intervention Studies That Don’t Conform to the “RCT Mold” created by Tracey Wade, PhD, FAED and Deborah Mitchison in 2020.
