Integrating a web-based intervention into routine care of binge-eating disorder: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating pathology and carries a high mental and physical burden, access to specialized treatment is limited due to patient-related barriers and insufficient healthcare resources. Integrating web-based self-help programs into clinical care for BED may address this treatment gap by making evidence-based eating disorder interventions more accessible.
