AI Article Synopsis
- A study compared CD-ROM-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for binge-eating disorder (BED) with traditional group CBT sessions and a waiting list control.
- Attrition rates were higher in the group CBT, but only this group showed a significant difference from the waiting list dropouts.
- Participants using the CD-ROM reported ongoing use of the program, and many from the waiting list chose CD-ROM treatment after the waiting period, indicating its acceptability and preference.
Article Abstract
We compared preliminary feasibility and acceptability of CD-ROM-delivered CBT for overweight individuals with binge-eating disorder (BED) to 10 weekly group CBT sessions (Group) and to a waiting list control (WL). Attrition was numerically greater in the Group than the CD-ROM condition; although only Group differed significantly from WL in dropout rates. Those in the CD-ROM condition reported continued use of their CD-ROM after treatment. Also, the majority of WL participants elected to receive CD-ROM over Group treatment at the end of the waiting period. Preliminarily, no significant differences emerged across the active treatment groups on most outcome measures. However, there was a significantly greater decline in binge days in the two active groups relative to WL. CD-ROM appears to be an acceptable and at least initially preferred method of CBT delivery for overweight individuals with BED.
