Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The prevalence of trichotillomania in the US is 1-2% of the population and yet treatment access is limited by many issues including processionals' lack of knowledge of the disorder and low treatment accessibility (Walther et al., 2010). ACT- enhanced behavior therapy has been implemented using telehealth to reach a larger population (42.2% decrease pre-to-post treatment), but telehealth still requires therapist time and incurs notable costs (Lee, Haeger, et al., 2018). The present study aims to address the gap in trichotillomania treatment accessibility by examining the role of check-ins on adherence and efficacy on afully automated, web-based ACT-enhanced HRT treatment for adults with trichotillomania across the United States. We predict that the condition with check-ins will increase adherence and efficacy of the treatment significantly more than the condition without check-ins. Additionally, we predict that hair pulling severity and psychological flexibility will be significantly improved by the condition with check-ins compared to the condition without check-ins.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
AEBT website with check-ins
Participants will complete the 8-module intervention of Acceptance-enhanced behavior therapy (AEBT) and will receive weekly check-ins. Acceptance-enhanced behavior therapy is a manualized treatment approach created by Woods and Twohig 2008 that provides both Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Habit Reversal Therapy.
Acceptance-Enhanced Behavior Therapy
8-module intervention delivering acceptance-enhanced behavior therapy through a fully automated website. This intervention was adapted from the Acceptance-enhanced behavior therapy workbook (Woods \& Twohig, 2008).
AEBT website without check-ins
Participants will complete the 8-module intervention of Acceptance-enhanced behavior therapy (AEBT) but will not receive weekly check-ins. Acceptance-enhanced behavior therapy is a manualized treatment approach created by Woods and Twohig 2008 that provides both Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Habit Reversal Therapy.
