Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Frequency of Binge Eating in the Past 28 Days		Pre and Post treatment, 6 months and 1 year	No
Secondary	Depression Symptoms	Early response to treatment is indicated by a reduction in depression symptoms measured by The Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996). The BDI-II is scored by summing the ratings for the 21 items. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3. The range for this scale is 0-63. Higher scores represent more depressive symptoms. We included cases that were missing up to 8 missing items and calculated scores for participants with missing items by taking the weighted mean and multiplying by 21.	Pre and Post treatment, 6 months and 1 year	No
