A dialectical behavior therapy skills training smartphone app for recurrent binge eating: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a specialized treatment that has a growing evidence base for binge-spectrum eating disorders. However, cost and workforce capacity limit wide-scale uptake of DBT since it involves over 20 in-person sessions with a trained professional (and six sessions for guided self-help format). Interventions translated for delivery through modern technology offer a solution to increase the accessibility of evidence-based treatments. We developed the first DBT-specific skills training smartphone application (Resilience: eDBT) for binge-spectrum eating disorders and evaluated its efficacy in a randomized clinical trial.

Method

Participants reporting recurrent binge eating were randomized to Resilience (n = 287) or
