Examines predictors of binge eating severity in a residential program for individuals with binge-eating spectrum disorders, suggesting targeted interventions may be beneficial.
= 34) admitted to a residential program designed specifically for BESD completed assessments at admission, discharge, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up. We examined ED-related and comorbid symptom predictors of binge eating severity at discharge and follow-up. In multivariate regression models, cognitive restraint, depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms significantly predicted binge eating severity at discharge, but at 12-month follow-up, only depression and trauma symptoms remained significant predictors. Individuals with lower cognitive restraint and comorbid symptoms may benefit more from this type of treatment. Further tailoring BESD residential treatment to provide additional skills for managing cognitive restraint and comorbid symptoms may be warranted.
