This qualitative study examined clinicians' perceptions and experiences implementing FBT with diverse families, specifically what adaptations (if any) were made to the foundational model, and the barriers and facilitators to adhering to and engaging in the model. Results show that some participants reported making adaptations to every phase of FBT, while others did not, with diverse families. Findings may inform future treatment planning, clinician training, clinical decision-making tools, and potential modifications to FBT.
