Archived Studies

Below are some of our archived studies that we are no longer recruiting for. For a full list, see our individual study pages from the drop-down menu above! If you are interested in participating in one of our active studies, click here.
 
​Imaginal Exposure Therapy Online
​
The purpose of this study was to investigate if the use of imaginal exposure therapy can be helpful in reducing eating-related anxiety. Participants in the study will be asked to complete a phone screening, brief education about imaginal exposure therapy, and questionnaires before they began participation in the study. Participants were asked to think and write about an eating related fear or anxiety. Exposure therapy is beneficial for the reduction of anxiety, and as such is an expected benefit of participation in this study. Exposure therapy has been shown to help identify and decrease underlying fears that other types of therapy cannot access.  
We are no longer recruiting for this study. 

In-Vivo Imaginal Exposure Therapy

The purpose of this study was to investigate if the use of imaginal exposure therapy can be helpful in reducing eating-related anxiety. Participants came to the EAT Lab & Clinic at the University of Louisville where they were asked to complete a brief screening, brief education about imaginal exposure therapy, and questionnaires to determine whether they could continue to participate in the therapy portion of the study. Participants then worked with a therapist to address eating related fears and will receive up to 10 free sessions of therapy (valued at $1,750). 
We are no longer recruiting for this study. 

Daily Habits 3

This study examined what behaviors, cognitions, and emotions occur during meals in people with current or past eating disorders, or in those who experience eating/weight related fears. Participants were asked to complete a screening to determine if they can continue to participate. If accepted, participants completed several questionnaires using an app to answer questions about meals and snacks four times a day. This was a paid study.
We are no longer recruiting for this study. 

Daily Mood Study


​​The purpose of this study was to investigate daily changes in mood and behavior in order to develop symptom models of depression and its co-morbid conditions. Participants were asked to complete a pre-screening questionnaire to determine eligibility, followed by a phone-based screening interview, an online questionnaire, and to answer questions sent to their phone four times a day for three weeks, followed by one more online questionnaire after completing the mobile-app based portion of the study. Participants were also asked to complete a final online questionnaire at 6-month follow-up.  Participants were paid up to $100 for participating in this study.
We are no longer recruiting for this study. 

COVID-19 Daily Impact Study
​
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of COVID-19 pandemic related stress and isolation on daily functioning (e.g., eating and physical activity). In this study, participants were given a link to complete several online questionnaires, which ask about behaviors and thoughts. After these questionnaires were completed, participants would receive instructions on how to download an application on a phone or tablet that asked questions 4 times a day for 10 days. These questions asked about emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, and lasted about 5 minutes each. Six months and one year after this, participants received a link to complete the follow-up questionnaires online. After the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, participants will receive a link to complete the final follow-up questionnaires.
We are no longer recruiting for this study. 

Mindful Self-Compassion Study (Online) 


​The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and outcomes of an 8 week mindful self-compassion group workshop among individuals with eating disorders. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and to attend 8 free mindful self-compassion group sessions. Group sizes will range between 5-10 participants. This is a paid study, with an opportunity to receive a $10 gift card in addition to the free mindful self-compassion sessions.
