Summary
This pilot study tested an online guided self-help program for teens aged 12–17 who binge eat and have a higher weight. Eight teens completed weekly online sessions over four months. The main goal was to see if the program was practical and acceptable, not to measure effectiveness. Early results will help decide whether to run a larger trial.
