Optimizing digital health technologies to improve therapeutic skill use and acquisition alongside enhanced cognitive-behavior therapy for binge-spectrum eating disorders: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Adjunctive mobile health (mHealth) technologies offer promise for improving treatment response to enhanced cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT-E) among individuals with binge-spectrum eating disorders, but research on the key "active" components of these technologies has been very limited. The present study will use a full factorial design to (1) evaluate the optimal combination of complexity of two commonly used mHealth components (i.e., self-monitoring and microinterventions) alongside CBT-E and (2) test whether the optimal complexity level of these interventions is moderated by baseline self-regulation. Secondary aims of the present study include evaluating target engagement associated with each level of these intervention components and quantifying the component interacti
