Overview
Brief Summary
This is a mixed method feasibility randomized controlled trial to explore the feasibility and acceptability of therapist delivered, culturally adapted, manualized Ca-GBBB intervention for Eating Disorders (EDs) - Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and Bing Eating Disorder (BED) in Pakistan.
Detailed Description
Evidence on psychological management of eating disorders in low and middle income countries ( LMICs) is limited, and non-existent in Pakistan. A Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) based guided self-help manual "Getting Better Bite by Bite: A Survival Kit for Sufferers of Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorders" (GBBB), has found to be feasible and acceptable for patients with BN. Quantitative phase of this research aims to determine if the culturally adapted GBBB (Ca-GBBB) programme is feasible and acceptable for individuals with Eating disorders- BN and BED compared to treatment as usual. The qualitative part of the study will include focus groups and in-depth digitally recorded one-to-one interviews with participants by trained qualitative researchers at two time points both before and after the intervention. These focus groups and in-depth interviews will continue till the data saturation is achieved. Moreover, in-depth digitally-recorded interviews with stakeholders (nutritionists, dietitian, educationist, therapists, health professionals, etc) will also be conducted by trained researchers.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Intervention Log
Time Frame: During 4-month intervention period.
Feasibility of the intervention delivery: Duration of each session and completed feedback forms. This will be assessed by keeping record of whether the Ca-GBBB is delivered, received and enacted as intended.
Attendance logs
Time Frame: From baseline to 4-month follow up
Therapy logs will include each participant's attendance in a session. This will give information about acceptability of intervention. mean attendance rate of \>70% i.e. at least 11 sessions, will indicate that the intervention is acceptable for the participants
Client Satisfaction Questionnaire
Time Frame: From baseline to 4-month follow up
Tolerability of the intervention is defined as the ability to endure the intervention. Items on Client Satisfaction Questionnaire are scored on a four-point Likert scale from 1 (low satisfaction) to 4 (high satisfaction), with different descriptors for each response point. Totals range from 8 to 32; with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.
Recruitment and attrition Logs
Time Frame: One year's time
The parameters feasibility of undertaking the trial of intervention will include the recruitment rate (the number of patients referred/approached, proportion of those who consented out of all the eligible patients with BED and/or BN disorder referred from and approached at the recruitment sites) (The success criterion of feasibility will be to recruit \> 50% of eligible participants) and the attrition rate (the number of patients withdrawn out of those who consented to participate).
