Do diaries differ? study tests paper vs. digital for binge eating tracking
NCT ID NCT07715812
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how people with binge eating disorder record their episodes using two different diary formats: a traditional paper diary and an electronic diary on a smartphone. Researchers want to see if both formats collect the same information and which one people find easier to use. Participants will use each format for two weeks and then switch. The goal is to improve how binge eating is measured in future studies and clinical settings.
