Abstract
Teens with eating disorders (EDs) encounter numerous barriers to in-person treatment, and mHealth interventions (i.e., mobile-based health interventions) can attenuate these barriers. The current study examined engagement with an mHealth intervention designed for teens with EDs and delineated specific user characteristics associated with uptake and continued intervention use.
