An uncontrolled pilot feasibility trial of an intuitive eating intervention for college women with disordered eating delivered through group and guided self‐help modalities
International Journal of Eating Disorders Sep 04, 2020
Burnette CB, et al. - Via this uncontrolled pilot trial, researchers investigated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an 8‐week intuitive eating (IE) intervention among college women who engage in high rates of disordered eating behaviors (DEBs); the intervention was delivered through two potentially accessible and affordable modalities: group and guided self‐help (GSH). From a large public Mid‐Atlantic university, they recruited and randomized racially and ethnically diverse college women (N = 71; < 50% White) to group (n = 40) or GSH (n = 31). Observations support the feasibility of both conditions, with superior retention and attendance in GSH. Of those attending at least one session in either condition, more than 90% retained through the follow‐up. Both the condition were highly acceptable and resulted in medium to large decreases in DEBs, body dissatisfaction, and weight‐bias internalization, and improvements in body appreciation, IE, and satisfaction with life from pre‐ to post‐test; these improvements were maintained at follow‐up.
