Registered outcomes 11
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Eating disorder behaviors | 6 weeks | Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 (EDE-Q) will be used to measure change in eating disorder symptoms. The EDE-Q has a minimum global score of 0 and a maximum global score of 132. Higher scores indicate more severe eating pathology. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Fear of weight gain | 6 weeks | Fear of weight gain will be assessed via the Fear of Food Measure, which assesses three cognitive-behavioral dimensions of fear of food: anxiety about food, avoidance behaviors, and fear of weight gain. The fear of weight gain has a minimum global score of 0 and a maximum global score of 2,900. Higher scores indicate worse fear of weight gain. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Body image disturbance (State Body Disturbances) | 6 weeks | Body Disturbances will be collected via the Eating Disorder-15 (ED-15), which is a 15-item measure of eating disorder cognitions and behaviors, which will be collected at the beginning of each treatment session. The ED-15 includes ten questions that together have a minimum global score of 0 and a maximum global score of 60. There are also 5 items that are open-ended integer questions. Higher scores indicate worse body and eating disturbances. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Food avoidance | 6 weeks | Avoidance will be measured with the Fear Approach and Avoidance Measure (FAAM), a measure that quantifies approach and avoidance behaviors related to food, body, and weight. The FAAM has a minimum global score of 0 and a maximum global score of 495. Higher scores indicate worse food avoidance. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Fear of food | 6 weeks | The Fear of Food Measure (FOFM) assesses three cognitive-behavioral dimensions of fear of food: anxiety about food, avoidance behaviors, and fear of weight gain. It has strong factor, convergent, divergent, and construct validity. The FOFM includes 23 questions that have a minimum global score of 23 and a maximum global score of 161. There are also ten items that together have a minimum global score of 0 and a maximum global score of 1000. All together, the scale has a minimum global score of 23 and a maximum global score of 1,161. Higher scores indicate worse fear of food. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Eating disorder fears | 6 weeks | The Eating Disorder Fear Inventory (EFI) assesses ED fears, such as fear of weight gain and associated consequences. It will be used to generate the "most feared" consequence of weight gain to focus on during exposure therapy. The EFI has a minimum global score of 28 and a maximum global score of 280. Higher scores indicate worse eating disorder fears. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | BMI | 6 weeks | BMI will be assessed by measuring weight and height via scale during assessments. BMI will be calculated using the formula kg/m\^2. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Barriers to Treatment Access | 6 weeks | The Barriers to Treatment Access measure is a 15-item questionnaire assessing factors that may have hindered or prevented participants' access to eating disorder treatment due to financial, sociocultural, geographical, and identification barriers. The BTA is a qualitative measure, so there is no range of values or a "score." | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Quality of Life Scale | 6 weeks | Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) asks about various facets of life satisfaction. The QOLS is a valid instrument for measuring quality of life across groups and cultures. The QOLS has a minimum global score of 16 and a maximum global score of 112. Lower scores indicate worse quality of life. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Clinical Impairment Assessment | 6 weeks | The Clinical Impairment Assessment (CIA) assesses how eating habits, exercising, or feelings about eating, shape or weight have affected participant livelihood. The CIA is a reliable and valid global measure of psychosocial impairment secondary to ED symptoms. The CIA has a minimum global score of 0 and a maximum global score of 88. Higher scores indicate worse clinical impairment. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Weight suppression | 6 weeks | Highest adult weight will be recorded to assess weight suppression (i.e., difference between highest weight since reaching adult height and current body weight), to partially account for medical, nutritional status, and the impact of weight loss and/or gain. Weight will be measured in pounds. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
