What this Trial Is About
Black women aged 18 to 25 who are at risk for binge-eating disorder (BED) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are the focus of this research. The study addresses the high rates of obesity and binge eating among Black women, which contribute to increased diabetes risk. Researchers aim to reduce binge eating and prevent weight gain to help lower T2DM disparities in this population. The study compares two behavioral programs: Appetite Awareness Training (AAT) combined with the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), and DPP alone. Both interventions include 16 core sessions over six months followed by six maintenance sessions over a total of 12 months. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the combined AAT and DPP content or only the DPP content. Participants will be involved in the study for up to 12 months, during which their binge eating episodes and weight changes will be monitored at baseline and six months. The research also measures inflammatory biomarkers related to T2DM. The study uses smartphones for intervention delivery and requires participants to have internet access. Outcomes will assess the programs' feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness in this group.
