Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the extent to which we can engage and manipulate putative targets within the self-regulation domain within and outside of laboratory settings in samples of smokers and overweight/obese individuals with binge eating disorder. This is the fourth phase of a study that aims to identify putative mechanisms of behavior change to develop an overarching "ontology" of self-regulatory processes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Binge Eating Group

All participants in the study will be invited to use Laddr, described in the intervention section.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Laddr

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Laddr is an integrated, personalized, web-based self-regulation assessment and behavior change system. It integrates tools that have been shown to be effective for a wide array of behavioral phenomena ranging from substance use and abuse, mental health, risk-taking, chronic pain management, medication adherence, diet, exercise, diabetes and other chronic disease management, and smoking. The organizational structure, functionality and content within Laddr's system centrally embrace these fundamental aspects of behavior change; thus, the Laddr platform is not "diagnosis-specific" but rather enables integrated care for any combination of individuals' goals, needs, and preferences.
