Web-Based Guided Self-Help vs Treatment as Usual for Binge-Eating Disorder

Is web-based guided self-help noninferior to treatment as usual for adults with binge-eating disorder?In this randomized clinical trial of 187 adults with binge-eating disorder, web-based guided self-help was noninferior to treatment as usual in reducing binge-eating episodes at both the end of treatment and at 20 weeks after treatment.The findings of this study suggest that web-based guided self-help is an effective standalone treatment for adults with binge-eating disorder and may be beneficial for challenges in the global mental health field.
