Results of behavioral obesity treatments have generally been unsuccessful. Reduction of participants' emotional eating (EE) might be essential. Women with obesity within age-groups of emerging adult, young adult, and middle-aged adult - participating in a community-based obesity treatment centered around self-regulatory skills to control eating - were evaluated over 6 months. There were significant reductions in participants' EE and eating-related self-regulation. Participants' change in self-regulation significantly predicted their changes in depression-related, anxiety-related, and total EE. Participants' age group did not significantly affect either their degree of improvement or self-regulation-EE change relationships. Emphasizing self-regulatory skills development for the control of EE, regardless of age-group in women, was suggested by the study authors.

Background: Poor quality of life in adults with anorexia nervosa (AN) and persistent high rates of readmission highlight the necessity of developing interventions to optimize treatment outcomes. ECHOMANTRA is a novel online intervention based on interventions for carers (Experienced Carers Helping Others, ECHO) and patients (Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults, MANTRA) with anorexia nervosa. The objective of this paper is to describe the study protocol of a randomized control trial (RCT) aimed at evaluating the efficacy of an adaptation of the ECHOMANTRA for adults AN inpatients and outpatients, and their carers, to be implemented as an add-on to treatment-as-usual (TAU).
