Predictors and moderators of treatment outcome in a randomized clinical trial for adults with symptoms of bulimia nervosa.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study examined predictors and moderators of outcome in 2 treatments for bulimia nervosa (BN).

Method

Eighty adults with BN symptoms at 1 of 2 sites were randomized to 21 sessions of integrative cognitive-affective therapy for BN (ICAT-BN) or enhanced cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E). Generalized linear models examined predictors and moderators of improvements in bulimic behavior and eating disorder psychopathology at end of treatment (EOT) and 4-month follow-up (FU).

Results

At EOT, individuals with higher dietary restraint had greater reductions in bulimic behavior. At FU, individuals with higher weight and shape concern had greater reductions in bulimic behavior, whereas those with greater baseline depression had less improvement in eating disorder
