详细描述
Adults and adolescents will be asked to participate in a 10-week eating intervention to better understand and manage their emotions and improve their relationship with food. Participants will fill out questionnaires related to their engagement in body avoidance behaviors and disordered eating, and assess their self-reported levels of impulsivity, food insecurity, mindfulness skills, emotion regulation skills, and distress tolerance skills. Participants will also be asked questions to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the telehealth format.

研究组 & 干预措施
Telehealth Group
Participants will be randomized to the telehealth group where they will attend weekly group intervention sessions online through the Zoom platform. Participants will be emailed or mailed materials for session since they will not be attending in-person. Participants will not be asked to attend any sessions or portions of the study in-person.
干预措施: Dialectical behavior therapy-informed group eating intervention protocol (telehealth) (Behavioral)
In-Person Group
Participants will be randomized to the in-person group where they will attend weekly group intervention sessions at a building on the Texas A&M University campus. Participants will be emailed or provided session materials when they arrive for sessions. After the first session, they will not be attending any online sessions.
干预措施: Dialectical behavior therapy-informed group eating intervention protocol (in-person) (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility of attending and engaging in a binge eating intervention.
时间窗: Participants will be asked these questions via a brief exit interview immediately after the last session of the intervention (Week 10) to assess intervention feasibility.
Participants will be asked open-ended questions in an interview format about the feasibility of attending and engaging in a binge eating intervention (telehealth or in-person). For example, one of the items asks, "Were there too many sessions or just enough?"
Change in binge eating
时间窗: Participants will be asked to complete a measure of binge eating at baseline and immediately after the last session of the intervention (Week 10) to assess change in binge eating behaviors.
Episodes and frequency of binge eating and binge eating behaviors via the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire. Two items from this scale will be used to assess for the number of episodes and frequency of binge eating. Participants are asked to respond with numeric values to these items according to their subjective view (e.g., may write "8" to to represent eight episodes of binge eating over the past 28 days). Partcipants provide a numeric response from 0+ (no maximum number). Higher scores indicate more episodes of binge eating.
Satisfaction with the binge eating intervention
时间窗: Participants will be asked questions immediately after the last session of the intervention (Week 10).
Participants will be asked nine questions developed by the author and collaborators about how acceptable they found the intervention (telehealth or in-person) to be (e.g., "I would recommend this program to a friend or family member who has difficulty with binge eating"). Six of the questions can be answered with either "Yes", "No", or "Don't know." The remaining three items are open-ended.
次要结局
- Change in distress tolerance(Participants will be asked to complete a measure of distress tolerance at baseline and post-intervention (during the final group session).)
- Change in mindfulness skills(Participants will be asked to complete a measure of mindfulness at baseline/pre-intervention and immediately after the final session of the intervention (Week 10).)
- Food insecurity(Participants will be asked to complete a measure of food insecurity at baseline/pre-intervention.)
- Change in body image avoidance(Participants will be asked to complete the Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire weekly to assess changes in body image avoidance throughout the intervention (at baseline/pre-intervention and every week at the beginning of the session, weeks 2-10).)
- Change in appearance overvaluation(Participants will be asked to complete the Beliefs About Appearance Scale weekly to assess change in appearance overvaluation throughout the intervention (at baseline and every week at the beginning of the session, weeks 2-10).)
- Change in emotion regulation(Participants will be asked to complete a measure of emotion regulation at baseline/pre-intervention and immediately after the final session of the intervention (Week 10).)
- Change in binge eating disorder status(Participants will be asked to complete a diagnostic measure of binge eating disorder at baseline/pre-intervention and immediately after the final session of the intervention (Week 10).)
- Change in disordered eating (other than binge eating)(Participants will be asked to complete a measure of disordered eating at baseline/pre-intervention and immediately after the final session of the intervention (Week 10).)
- Change in impulsivity(Participants will be asked to complete a measure of impulsivity at baseline/pre-intervention and immediately after the final session of the intervention (Week 10).)
