What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Single-session Intervention Adaptation of the Habit Framework for eating disorders?
Research shows that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective for treating eating disorders, with significant improvements over time. Although the specific single-session intervention isn't directly studied, similar CBT approaches have shown positive outcomes, suggesting potential benefits for this treatment.12345
Is the Single-Session Intervention for Eating Disorders safe for humans?
How is the Single-session Intervention Adaptation of the Habit Framework treatment different from other treatments for eating disorders?
This treatment is unique because it involves a single-session intervention (SSI), which is designed to be completed in just one encounter, making it highly accessible and potentially effective even if it's the only session a person attends. Unlike traditional treatments that require multiple sessions, SSIs aim to provide immediate support and target core mechanisms of eating disorders in a brief, focused manner.910111213
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this proposal is to launch the first trial of a single-session intervention (SSI) specifically for the prevention of eating disorders (EDs).
