Optimizing Digital Health Technology Interventions to Increase Skill Acquisition and Utilization

Standard behavioral therapy for eating disorders aimed at changing behaviors that maintain binge eating (e.g. rigid dietary restriction outside of binge episodes, irregular or chaotic eating patterns).

Integrates behavioral treatment for eating disorders with a more complex self-monitoring than the self-monitoring protocol with traditional behavioral treatment.

Integrates behavioral treatment for eating disorders with push notifications each week from a smartphone application to remind participants about skills they have learned in session to encourage skill use during app-identified moments of need (i.e., JITAIs, just-in-time adaptive interventions).
