Could your phone help rewire binge-eating habits?

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Are 18 to 65 years old. 2. Have experienced 12 or more loss of control episodes within the previous 3 months. 3. Have a BMI above 18.5. 4. Are located in the US and willing/able to participate in remote treatment and assessments. 5. Have a smartphone. 6. Complete the three-day app trial after the baseline assessment (i.e., the participant shows that they can self-monitor their episodes of eating three times a day for three days). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Are unable to fluently speak, write and read English. 2. Have a BMI below 18.5. 3. Are already receiving treatment for an eating disorder (e.g., research participants cannot be receiving concurrent eating disorder treatment in the clinical trial and from another provider). Participants willing to pause their existing eating disorder treatment for the duration of the clinical trial are eligible to participate. 4. Are already receiving pharmacological or behavioral treatment for weight loss. 5. If they meet the criteria for PCP clearance (see "Primary care physician clearance" section above) and are not deemed safe for outpatient treatment by a primary care physician. 6. If they meet the criteria for PCP clearance and are unwilling to receive medical clearance and/or medical monitoring as requested by the study to ensure they are medically safe to participate. 7. Have a mental handicap or are experiencing other severe psychopathology that would limit the research participants' ability to comply with the demands of the current study (e.g., imminent suicide risk, active psychotic disorder). Imminent suicide risk is assessed through the C-SSRS and a full risk assessment (see "Plan for assessing and/or intervening on suicidal ideation" above). Active psychotic disorder is assessed during the phone screen and with the standardized assessment checklist. 8. Are using a substance wherein the substance use is creating significant functional impairment that it is unlikely they can safely and effectively participate in an outpatient treatment study for eating pathology (i.e., the substance use: is interfering with day-to-day responsibilities and/or has gotten them in trouble with the law in the past year and/or has prevented them from attending/completing work and/or school within the past year) and/or if they are experiencing medical symptoms related to their substance use that requires immediate treatment and/or are unwilling or refrain from using the substances when it may interfere with treatment sessions and assessments (i.e., unwilling to not use the substances starting 2 hours prior to assessments and treatment sessions). Substance use is assessed during the phone screen and with the standardized assessment checklist. 9. Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant within the next year and a half.
