A Multimodal Outcome Study of Eating Disorders
Targeting Top-down and Bottom-up Processing in Eating Disorders Using Computerized Training Approaches: A Multimodal Outcome Study
This research project aims to explore the effectiveness of combined go/no-go training and implementation intentions in targeting binge eating frequency among people with binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa.
The full intervention is 4 weeks long and consists of completing the training and food diaries every day and meeting with the researcher twice for EEG recording. Moreover, it involves completing questionnaires at baseline, at intervention completion, and one month after the intervention.
Moreover, healthy control participants will be recruitment to complete baseline questionnaires and take part in one EEG recording session in order to assess baseline differences in brain activation in response to computer tasks.

Descripción detallada
Participants will learn about the study through flyers, e-mail, and social media (i.e. twitter and Facebook) which will describe the interventional nature of the study, the main eligibility criteria, and the researcher's contact information. Interested individuals will be asked to contact the researchers, who will then send an information sheet detailing the study procedure and what participation would involve. After reading the information sheet, interested individuals will be contacted by the researchers in order to confirm all eligibility criteria including diagnostic assessment. If these are met a PDF of the consent form will be sent to the participants, including information about their rights as participants and their ability to withdraw at any time without having to give a reason. Participants who sign the consent form will respond to the email with the attached document. Next, researchers will contact the participant to set an appointment to enter the lab for the first EEG recording. Before entering the lab, participants will be asked to complete a food diary and complete the complete a battery of questionnaires. The questionnaires include: 1) a demographic questionnaire, 2) eating disorders examination questionnaire, 3) food ratings test, 4) self-regulation of eating behaviour questionnaire for adults, 5) The negative urgency scale, 6) the adults eating behaviour questionnaire, 7) GAD-7, and 8) PHQ-9.
Upon participants' arrival to the lab, participants will be asked to complete the food rating task. Next, they will learn to complete the training tasks (i.e. food specific go/no-go and general go/no-go) and perform them during EEG recording. They will be offered the opportunity to ask questions relating to the task or the EEG at any time. Their weight will also be measured.
Participants will be asked to complete the training and complete food diaries every day for four weeks. The successful/ unsuccessful attempts at implementation intentions will be assessed weekly by a mentor. A researcher/clinician will discuss setting the implementation intention goals with the participant over email. At the end of the training, participants will enter the lab to re-complete the four tasks while researchers record brain activation using the EEG. They will also be asked to complete the food rating task again and their weight will be re-assessed. Before leaving, they will be asked to complete a feedback sheet in which they can express their experience with the training, in terms of facilitators and barriers and visual analogue scales that will ask participants to rate the acceptability, usefulness and level of burden experienced with training.
Participants will then be followed up at 1 month post-intervention; they will be asked to complete the battery of questionnaires used at baseline and post-intervention.

Intervención / Tratamiento |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Food specific inhibitory control training
The stimuli in this task will involve pictures of food.
|
It involves a go/no-go task in which participants are requested to respond by clicking a particular button when a specific stimulus appears and requested to withhold their response when another particular stimulus appears.
Stimuli in this intervention include photos of food and non-food.
It involves designing "if-then" strategies of behaviour.
Participants will be asked to describe situations in which they feel they are more prone to behave in a way that is not congruent to their long term goals, and then to plan strategies to behave differently when faced with this situation in the future.

Comparador activo: General inhibitory control training
The stimuli in this task will not involve pictures of food, but pictures of stationary and household items.
|
It involves designing "if-then" strategies of behaviour.
Participants will be asked to describe situations in which they feel they are more prone to behave in a way that is not congruent to their long term goals, and then to plan strategies to behave differently when faced with this situation in the future.
It involves a go/no-go task in which participants are requested to respond by clicking a particular button when a specific stimulus appears and requested to withhold their response when another particular stimulus appears.
Stimuli in this intervention include only non-food pictures.

Sin intervención: Baseline brain activation assessment (healthy controls)
This arm is included to assess brain activation using EEG among healthy controls at baseline in order to compare responses to participants with eating disorders.
