Abstract

Highlights: There is a need for low-resource interventions for eating disorder carers. The ECHO DVD was tested adjunctive to an adult outpatient eating disorder program. In this setting the DVD may not be effective as a purely self-help intervention. More intensive interventions may be needed to support carers.
