What this Trial Is About
Binge eating, whether formally diagnosed or occurring at subthreshold levels, is associated with adverse health consequences and decreased quality of life. Access to accessible, cost-effective interventions that effectively address binge eating episodes is critical for individuals with this condition, and smartphone applications have demonstrated promise in treating binge eating and related disorders. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of eMOTE, a novel smartphone application for binge eating based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. For this purpose, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted in which women who self-report binge eating episodes will be randomly assigned to the app intervention group or a waiting list group.
