The predictive value of emotion regulation difficulties and negative mood on short and long-term treatment outcomes in an online guided self-help programme for adults with binge-eating disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) online guided self-help programs represent efficacious and accessible treatment options for adults with binge-eating disorder (BED), but research on predictors of treatment outcome is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of emotion regulation difficulties relative to that of negative mood on short- and longer-term treatment outcomes in an online guided self-help programme for BED above and beyond other predictors (age, sex, baseline BED severity).

Methods

Participants were 63 adults (87% female, mean age 37.2 years) with BED. Data was analysed using a hierarchical model approach.

Results

Emotion regulation difficulties better predicted both weekly binge-eating frequency and eating disorder (ED) pathol
