Adaptations of an online cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention for binge type eating disorders in publicly-insured and uninsured adults: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Publicly-insured and uninsured individuals-many of whom are marginalized because of race/ethnicity, ability status, and/or other social identities-experience barriers to accessing evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for eating disorders (EDs). Additionally, EBIs have not been developed with or for diverse populations, exacerbating poor treatment uptake. Mobile technology is well-positioned to bridge this gap and increase access to low-cost, culturally-sensitive EBIs.

Methods

This study leverages a user-centered design approach to adapt an existing coached cognitive-behavioral therapy-based digital program and evaluate its usability in a sample of 11 participants with (sub)clinical binge type EDs who are publicly-insured (n = 10) or uninsured (n = 1). Participants
