Cognitive and Behavioral Approaches to Reduce Binge Eating and Excess Weight in Adolescents (Online)

Sponsor: Indiana University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study will compare a psychological treatment (cognitive-behavioral therapy; CBT-BED) and a lifestyle beahvioral obesity intervention (LBOI) for adolescents who experience binge eating and have overweight or obesity. These treatments will be compared to each other and to a control condition that involves self-monitoring eating and mood using an "app". Participants can be located in most states in the United States. All participation occurs remotely by telehealth. The goal is to learn which approach works best for reducing binge eating and excess weight in this age group.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adolescent Binge Eating

Cognitive-behavioral therapy for binge-eating disorder (CBT-BED) for adolescents with binge eating and overweight or obesity, delivered remotely by telehealth. Sessions target cognitive and emotional drivers of binge eating through coping skills, problem-solving triggers, cognitive restructuring, and executive-function skill training; parent sessions focus on communication and support.

BEHAVIORAL

Lifestyle Behavioral Obesity Intervention

Lifestyle behavioral obesity intervention (LBOI) for adolescents with binge eating and overweight or obesity, delivered remotely by telehealth. Sessions provide nutrition and physical-activity prescriptions to create a modest calorie deficit and sustainable lifestyle habits and problem-solve nonadherence; parent sessions focus on the home food environment.

OTHER

Active Control

Self-monitoring eating, emotions, and exercise daily in a digital "app" that is similar to real-world self-help.
