About the study
Help us cure eating disorders while getting free treatment!
The purpose of this clinical trial is to test a new type of personalized treatment against the current gold standard treatment for eating disorders, enhanced cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E). This study could help us find better treatment for eating disorders, which is why your participation is so important to us!
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I qualify for this study?
Where does the study take place?
This study is entirely online and you can participate from anywhere in the United States!
What will the study involve?
You will complete measures before, during, and after treatment, phone-based surveys, and 20 sessions of treatment.
What are the benefits of participation?
Everyone who participates will get 20 sessions of free eating disorder treatment, which may decrease eating disorder and anxiety symptoms over the course of the study. These free therapy sessions are valued up to $6000. Your participation in this study could benefit others by helping us to develop more effective evidence-based treatment for eating disorders.
Are there any risks associated with participating?
During screening, you may be asked about sensitive topics such as eating disorder behaviors, anxiety, and mood. You may experience discomfort during treatment sessions due to them targeting these sensitive topics, but all of our therapists are trained to address client distress. Also, this discomfort may lead to a decrease in your eating disorder symptoms. If you become upset outside of screening or treatment, Dr. Levinson will be on-call to provide resources to you. Also, you can end your participation in this study at any point.
Will I be compensated for this study?
Participants will receive up to $100 for completion of this study. Total compensation depends on how many assessments and mobile app sessions you complete. Additionally, participants will receive $6000 worth of free eating disorder treatment!
