Summary

Twenty women, ages 60 or older, will be consented and enrolled in a single-arm, pilot implementation trial of the age-tailored cognitive-behavioral based BE intervention. Participants will complete assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and at two follow-up timepoints; weekly BE frequency will be collected to monitor progress during the intervention period.

Detailed description

The intervention being studied will be an age-tailored, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) based behavioral intervention for binge eating (BE), delivered by the PI, a licensed clinical psychologist, in small group format (4-6 participants per group) over 12-16 weeks. The intervention will utilize behavioral-based strategies to reduce BE and improve health behaviors, with content including strategies to improve body image, regulation of eating behaviors, and integration of physical activity with an emphasis on body function, health, and longevity. The final session number, frequency, content, and timeline will be determined during intervention-tailoring process not a part of this clinical trial.
