Building an Intervention for College Students With Food Insecurity and Binge Eating

Overview

This study is being conducted to test a new intervention. We are interested in whether it is easy to use and complete and whether you find it helpful in reducing concerns about your eating.

Interventions

  • Behavioral novel binge eating intervention for college students experiencing food insecurity.
    this intervention uses aspects of cognitive behavorial therapy for eating disorders combined with compassion-focused therapy techniques.

Primary outcome measures

  • Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) [Time frame: 3 weeks]
  • Experiences of Shame Scale (ESS) [Time frame: 3 weeks]
  • Systems Usability Scale (SUS) [Time frame: 3 weeks]
  • Digital Behavioral Change Interventions (DBCI) Engagement Scale [Time frame: 3 weeks]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • college student status, ages 18-30 years, current food insecurity, current binge eating, and interest in changing binge eating behaviors. Food security status will be determined by 2-item the Hunger Vital Sign screening, which demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in identifying individuals with food insecurity; scores must report mild or greater food insecurity to participate. Binge eating and related impairment will be evaluated by the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale and the Clinical Impairment Assessment, and the binge eating items from the Eating Disorder Examination interview. Eating behaviors must be consistent with a DSM-5-TR binge spectrum eating disorder diagnosis, whereby an individual reports binge eating episodes at minimum one time per week for the current month and at least two times per month for the prior two months, to participate. Participants will be permitted to report other mild level symptoms of psychopathology due to the high comorbidity between anxiety, depression, and binge eating among individuals with food insecurity.

Exclusion criteria

  • Severe levels of anxiety and depression symptoms.

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
