Summary
The aim of this project is to pilot test a novel mobile app intervention for adolescents with dysregulated eating behaviors and elevated weight status. This intervention will incorporate evidence-informed strategies targeting self-regulation into cognitive-behavioral treatment for maladaptive eating. Adolescents will use the app for 16 weeks and provide feedback on its usability and effectiveness in managing dysregulated eating.
