Digital Mindfulness Meditation-enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-MM) for Binge Eating Disorder

Digital Mindfulness Meditation-enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-MM) for Binge Eating Disorder User-Testing

The investigators will evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a 18-week long digital mindfulness-based and cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for binge eating disorder.

This study is a prospective single-arm trial during the intervention development phase. Following this phase, after the intervention has been further developed, a subsequent study (with a different clinicaltrials.gov identification #) will utilize a randomized control trial design.

Procedures include completing: (1) pre-intervention screening assessment; (2) an initial baseline visit; (3) 18-week web-based intervention; and (4) a post-intervention assessment (18-weeks after baseline).
