Digital Treatment for Binge Eating and Obesity in Black Women

This study is testing a digital treatment called "Centering Appetite" for Black women who experience binge eating and obesity. Centering Appetite combines two approaches: Appetite Awareness Treatment (AAT), which helps you recognize your body's hunger and fullness signals, and behavioral weight loss treatment (BWL). The treatment is delivered remotely over 6 months using Zoom. The researchers want to see if this program is practical to implement (feasibility) by looking at how many people enroll, stay in the study, and attend the sessions. You may be able to join if you are a Black woman over 18, have a BMI of 30 or higher, binge eat at least once a week, have a smartphone, and live or work near Kannapolis, NC. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
