A survey study of attitudes toward, and preferences for, e‐therapy interventions for eating disorder psychopathology

International Journal of Eating Disorders Apr 07, 2020

Linardon J, et al. - Via performing survey among 713 participants, researchers examined individuals spanning the spectrum of eating pathology for their attitudes toward, and preferences for, e‐therapy. Relatively positive attitudes were reported toward e‐therapies. Participants largely emphasized health care insurance coverage of costs for e‐therapies, and were optimistic about the wide‐ranging advantages of e‐therapy. Although face‐to‐face therapy was preferred by three‐quarters of participants, an intention to use an e‐therapy program for current or future eating problems was expressed by a significant percentage of participants (∼50%); those with probable bulimia nervosa (BN) showed the highest intention ratings (70%). They identified the following variables to be linked with an e‐therapy preference: not currently receiving psychotherapy, more positive e‐therapy attitudes, and greater stigma associated with professional help‐seeking. More positive e‐therapy attitudes and a probable BN classification were the variables linked with e‐therapy intentions.
