Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Treat Bulimia Nervosa in Adolescents
Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Bulimia Nervosa
In brief
The claire project is a research study testing the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help teenage girls develop healthier eating habits and better ways to manage weight and shape concerns. The study is enrolling girls who are members of the Kaiser Permanente Health plan in the Northwest region. They must be between the ages of 12 and 18 and report binge eating and/or purging (vomiting, laxative or diuretic use) at a research established threshold to be eligible for the study. Girls enrolled in the study will either receive the 6-20 session CBT intervention at the time of enrollment or 6 months after they enroll. Assessments including questions about eating behaviors, mood, and general functioning are given on enrollment in the study, and 3- and 6-months following enrollment (also at 9- and 12-months for those in the delayed treatment condition).
