Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of binges. This is measured by (1)
the foodintake diary, which specifically requests binge eating, (2) the Eating
Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q; Fairburn & Beglin, 1994) and (3) the
Eating Disorder Inventory-II (EDI II ; Garner & Van Strien, 2002).
Secondary outcome
A secundary study parameter is negative affect. This will be measured by the
Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS; Watson, Clark & Tellegen, 1988).
Background summary
Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and Binge Eating Disorder (BED) are both characterized by
recurrent binge eating (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). In up to two
hours an unusually large amount of food is eaten accompanied by loss of control.
Implementation intentions (IIs) could be a good intervention because they rely
on the automatic components of self-regulation (Mobbs, Crépin, Thiéry, Golay &
Van der Linden, 2010). IIs are 'if-then plans' linking behavior with contextual
features to control subsequent behavior (Gollwitzer & Brandstätter, 1997), for
example, "If situation X occurs, then I react with response Y!". IIs are
therefore used in order to achieve a (long-term) goal. IIs could be helpful for
people who suffer from eating disorders, in achieving their goal of having no
more binges.
Study objective
The objective of the study is to develop a treatment aimed at the reduction of
binge eating in people with BN or BED which can act as a supplement to the
regular treatment (CGT).
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether a IIs-treatment
in people with BN or BED leads to a reduction in the number of binges and
negative affect.
Secundary, we examine whether IIs focused on the negative affect that often
precedes a binge (emotion regulation-IIs) are more effective than IIs focused
directly on the binge itself (behavioral regulation-IIs).
Study design
The study is a randomized, controlled, single blind intervention study.
Intervention
Participants are randomly divided into three groups. The first (experimental)
group will be receiving a treatment with behavioral regulation-IIs focused
directly on the binge itself. The second (experimental) group will be receiving
a treatment with emotion regulation-IIs focused on the negative affect that
often precedes a binge. IIs are not offered to the third (control) group; they
only form goal intentions. In each group there are three individual weekly
treatment sessions, during three weeks.
Study burden and risks
There will be two online pre-measurements, three treatment sessions during
three weeks, one online post-measurement and three follow-up measurements,
respectively, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the post-measurement. In
addition, a food diary is daily maintained in the period in which the
treatments take place.
There are no risks associated with participation in this study.
