Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and test a new internet delivered treatment for adult patients with eating disorders, focused on developing normalized eating patterns and emotion regulation skills. The main focus is to investigate the additional effect of emotion regulation interventions, beyond the effect of other central tratment components normally included in evidence based eating disorder treatment. The internet delivered treatment is divided into two phases, phase A and phase B. Phase A focus on establishing normalised eating patterns, and in phase B the emotion regulation interventions are added. Participants will get access to treatment modules every third day over a time period of 8.5 weeks, each module consist of psychopedagogical material, excercises and home work. Data will be collected via the online research platform every third day during the treatment. Data is also collected at more comprehensive assessment points pre-treatment, post-treatment, and follow up 3 months after end of treatment.

Detailed description

This study uses an experimental single-case design, specifically a randomized replicated AB design. The baseline lenght (i.e., phase A) is randomized for each participant. There is six possible assignments, as the randomization is restricted to give all participants minimum 8 and maximum 12 treatment modules in each phase, with minimum 9 and maximum 14 baseline assessment points.
