Official Title: Optimizing Outcomes for Binge Eating, Depression and Weight Loss for Obese Women With Binge Eating Disorder by Matching to Group Psychological

Brief Summary: The main objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the effectiveness of a group therapy treatment for Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is improved and attrition reduced by optimally matching women with BED who have high attachment anxiety to Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy (GPIP). This study represents the next phase in a program of research stemming from a previously conducted randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Ottawa Hospital Research Institute

Current Primary Outcome: Frequency of Binge Eating in the Past 28 Days [ Time Frame: Pre and Post treatment, 6 months and 1 year ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Depression Symptoms [ Time Frame: Pre and Post treatment, 6 months and 1 year ]

Early response to treatment is indicated by a reduction in depression symptoms measured by The Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996). The BDI-II is scored by summing the ratings for the 21 items. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3. The range for this scale is 0-63. Higher scores represent more depressive symptoms. We included cases that were missing up to 8 missing items and calculated scores for participants with missing items by taking the weighted mean and multiplying by 21.


Original Secondary Outcome: Earlier response to treatment including lowered BMI, a greater reduction in depression, and more positive change in reported quality of life [ Time Frame: Pre and Post treatment, 6 months and 1 year ]
