Recruitment and assessments
RECRUITMENT
Participants were recruited to participate in a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) of inhibitory control training adjunct to CBT-E for binge-spectrum EDs. The current sample includes all participants recruited for the RCT. Recruitment methods included radio and social media advertising. Interested individuals completed a phone screen to assess initial eligibility before being invited for a baseline assessment to determine final eligibility. Assessments were conducted by independent trained evaluators at pre-treatment, after session 4 (“mid-treatment”), after session 12 (“post-treatment”), and at 3-month follow-up. The current study utilizes data from pre-treatment, mid-treatment, and post-treatment assessments. Participants also completed short online surveys before each CBT-E session. Participants received free treatment and were compensated $100 for completing all assessments and up to $100 for inhibitory control trainings. Procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Board and informed consent was obtained from all participants.
