Objective: Despite the availability of several evidence-based treatments for eating disorders (EDs), including Family-Based Treatment (FBT), therapist drift from evidence-based treatments in real-life clinical settings is common. This study explores clinicians' use of FBT techniques and identifies clinician-reported barriers to their use in real-world settings.
Methods: Clinicians (N = 54) who self-identified as using FBT for EDs were recruited through social media, professional listservs, and mental health provider databases.

The present study aimed to identify treatment and demographic factors associated with risk for difficulties with EF in youth treated for high-risk B-ALL.
Method: Children and adolescents with B-ALL treated on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocol AALL0232 were randomized to high-dose or escalating-dose methotrexate (MTX), and either dexamethasone or prednisone during the induction phase.
