Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Overall, we hypothesize that the multicomponent camp intervention will effectively reduce BE behavior in children and adolescents. Furthermore, we hypothesize that participants whose parents are randomized to receive the parental BED intervention will show a lower prevalence of BE behavior one year after the camp intervention compared with children whose parents receive standard care.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In the present study, all participants will receive standard care during the 10-weeks at the multicomponent camp, which follows national recommendations concerning diet and physical activity. All participants will be screened for BED with the STOB screening tool before the intervention. Among those participants who screen positive for BED with the STOB screening tool, parents/guardians will be randomized to receive either:
Standard parental involvement during the camp (P-ST).
or
A parental BED intervention in addition to the standard parental involvement during the camp (P-BED)
In all cases where BED is suspected at recruitment based on the STOB screening tool, participants will be referred to a diagnostic interview (The Child Eating Disorder Examination (ChEDE)) to determine if participants fulfill the diagnostic criteria for BED. The use of ChEDE at baseline and after the intervention is implemented to validate the STOB screening-tool for future use. Therefore, a subsample of participants screened negative at recruitment with the STOB screening-tool (i.e., no BE behavior) will also undergo a diagnostic interview.
Throughout the study, interviews will be conducted with a subsample of participants, parents, and camp staff. Participants and camp staff will be interviewed to gain insights into their perspectives of using the STOB screening-tool. Moreover, parents will be interviewed to include their perspectives in the developmental process and to gain insights into their interpretation of the content, format, and perceived value of the parental BED intervention.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard parent involvement during camp (P-ST)
Parents or guardians will receive the standard parental involvement during and in relation to their child's camp attendance. This includes individual meetings with camp staff and parental educational days focused on gaining insight into camp life, as well as participating in social and physical activities and cooking classes.
A 10-week multicomponent camp intervention for children
A 10-week multicomponent camp intervention for participating children only, focusing on social and physical activities, healthy meals, and daily physical activities.
Add-on parent-based BED intervention during camp (P-BED)
In addition to the standard parental involvement (P-ST) during camp, parents/guardians will receive a virtual parent-based BED intervention during the 10-week their child attend camp. The intervention will be designed to provide knowledge about BED and tools to support their child's eating after the intervention.
A 10-week multicomponent camp intervention for children
A 10-week multicomponent camp intervention for participating children only, focusing on social and physical activities, healthy meals, and daily physical activities.
A BED intervention for parents
An add-on virtual parent-based intervention providing knowledge about BED and tools to support their child's eating after the multicomponent camp intervention.
