What this trial measures

  • Usability of interventionWeek 16

    Perceptions that the intervention is or would be useful, useable, and satisfactory will be measured by the System Usability Scale.

  • Acceptability of interventionWeek 16

    Perceptions that the intervention is or would be useful, useable, and satisfactory will be measured by the Usefulness, Satisfaction, and Ease of use questionnaire (USE).

  • Body mass index percentileThrough study completion (up to 9 months)

    Adolescents will have their height and weight measured to calculate body mass index percentile using nationally representative growth charts and accompanying procedures. These data will be collected at each of the 4 major time points (pre-intervention assessment, mid-intervention assessment, post-intervention assessment, and 4-month follow up assessment).

  • Dysregulated eatingThrough study completion (up to 9 months)

    Dysregulated eating (overeating and loss of control eating episodes) will be measured using the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE; interview and questionnaire). The EDE features 4 subscales that are rated on a 7-point forced-choice format (0-6), with higher scores reflecting greater severity or frequency. These measures will be completed at each of the 4 major time points (pre-intervention assessment, mid-intervention assessment, post-intervention assessment, and 4-month follow up assessment).
