Telehealth-based intermediate level of care programs for eating disorders largely yield comparable outcomes to in-person settings. However, extant research is primarily based on programs that transitioned to virtual formats in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, rather than those intentionally designed for remote delivery. Additional research is needed to evaluate programs specifically created for telehealth environments (i. e. intentionally-remote) and to understand how outcomes vary across age groups. In this retrospective chart review, clinical outcomes at end-of-treatment for 116 patients enrolled in an intentionally-remote eating disorder treatment program were analyzed, including eating disorder symptomatology, quality of life impairment, depressive symptoms, trait anxiety, body mass index, and percentage of ideal body weight.
