Behavioral: Nutrition Counseling for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Avoidance Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (CBT-AR) BEHAVIORAL
CBT-AR is a four-stage modular treatment for ARFID delivered by a mental health clinician. The four stages include: 1) Psychoeducation and early change; 2) Treatment planning; 3) Addressing maintaining mechanisms; and 4) Relapse prevention. For participants ages 10-15 years, patients/guardians attend the sessions. For patients ages 16 and up, the therapy is individual.
Nutrition Counseling for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder BEHAVIORAL
Nutrition counseling will be provided by skilled registered dietitians at the MGH Translational and Clinical Research Center (TCRC). Sessions focus on the foods necessary for a healthy diet, how to meet nutritional needs, how to incorporate healthy exercise, and support for making these changes. For participants ages 10-15 years, patients/guardians attend the sessions. For patients ages 16 and up, the therapy is individual.

Medidas principales
Pica, ARFID, and Rumination Disorder Interview
Plazo: Change from baseline measured at Pre-Treatment to Mid-Treatment to 15 weeks of treatment measured at Post-Treatment.
A semi-structured clinical interview assessing the symptoms and severity of Pica, ARFID, and Rumination Disorder. This interview is used to determine the presence and severity of each ARFID profile. Scores for each severity measure are assessed on a scale from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater severity.
Pica, ARFID, and Rumination Disorder ARFID Questionnaire
Plazo: Change from baseline measured at Pre-Treatment to Mid-Treatment to 15 weeks of treatment measured at Post-Treatment.
A 32-item revised version of the Pica, ARFID, and Rumination Disorder Interview used to assess ARFID severity and presence of Pica or Rumination Disorder. Each item is assessed on a scale from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater severity.
Medidas secundarias
General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire
Plazo: Completed at Pre-Treatment Assessment (Baseline/Week 0), Mid-Treatment Assessment (Week 8 +/- 2 sessions), and Post-Treatment Assessment (Week 16 up to Week 19)
A revised version of the General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (GNKQ) used to evaluate knowledge of nutrition. Scores are gathered through a series of multiple-choice questions. The lowest score possible is 0, indicating low knowledge of nutrition, and the highest score possible is 14, indicating high knowledge of nutrition.
4-Day Food Record
Plazo: Completed at Pre-Treatment Assessment (Baseline/Week 0), Mid-Treatment Assessment (Week 8 +/- 2 sessions), and Post-Treatment Assessment (Week 16 up to Week 19)
A record of participant diet for four days prior to the Pre-Treatment Assessment and for another four days prior to the Post-Treatment Assessment. Dietary information is calculated from the recorded foods.
