Dear AED colleagues,
Our team at Massachusetts General Hospital would like to let you know about an exciting new study that we've recently had funded by NIMH (1R61MH129331), in case you are seeking ARFID treatment for a young person in the Boston or New England area!
Specifically, we are recruiting young people ages 10-18yo with ARFID, and randomizing them to one of two treatments: (1) cognitive-behavioral therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR) or (2) nutrition education. Participants will receive the treatment via telemedicine at no cost, and will be paid up to $450 for assessments (interviews, questionnaires, blood draws, fMRI).
We'd be so grateful if you'd consider referring anyone who might be interested and appropriate for this study. They can email mgharfid@mgb.org
or compete this online pre-screen form: https://rally.massgeneralbrigham.org/study/counteract_study
Best wishes,
Jenny Thomas & Kamryn Eddy
