Official title
Combining Digital Cognitive-behavior Therapy With Mindfulness Training for Binge Eating Disorder: a Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
The investigators will evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a 16-session digital mindfulness-based and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention for binge eating disorder (BED) + coached self-monitoring vs. a coached self-monitoring intervention. This study is a pilot randomized controlled trial.
Detailed description
Procedures include completing: (1) pre-intervention screening assessment; (2) an initial baseline visit; (3) the assigned intervention; (4) a mid-study visit; (5) a post-intervention assessment (\~18-weeks after baseline); and (6) a 2-month follow-up assessment.
Interventions
- Behavioral CBT-based Mindful Courage
Self-guided online intervention - Behavioral Coached Self-Monitoring
Participants will log meals in recovery record
Primary outcome measures
- Feasibility / Completion (questionnaire developed by our lab) [Time frame: From baseline to 2-month follow-up visit]
- Acceptability [Time frame: After completing intervention, an average of 18-weeks]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
