Abstract

Objective: Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is effective at reducing binge episodes and inducing weight stabilization in obese adults with binge eating disorder. Method: We piloted the administration of IPT to girls at‐risk for excess weight gain (BMI 75 th–97 th percentile; IPT‐WG) with and without loss of control (LOC) eating. Thirty‐eight girls (12–17 years) were randomized to IPT‐WG or a standard‐of‐care health education group. Results: All 38 girls completed the programs and all follow‐up visits through 6 months. Thirty‐five of 38 returned for a complete assessment visit at 1 year. Among girls with baseline LOC (n = 20), those in IPT‐WG experienced greater reductions in such episodes than girls in health education (p = .036). Regardless of LOC status, over 1 year girls in IPT‐WG were less likely to increase their BMI as expected for their age and BMI percentile (p = .028). Discussion: IPT‐WG is feasible and acceptable to adolescent girls at‐risk for adult obesity and may prevent excess weight gain over 1 year. © 2009 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

  • Existing evidence from diverse samples regarding LOC in youth points to efficacy of CBT, IPT, or DBT in reducing binge eating frequency.

    “The existing evidence from diverse samples regarding LOC in youth point to the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) [33], interpersonal therapy (IPT) [34] or dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT) [35] in reducing binge eating frequency.”

    From Correlates of interpersonal emotion regulation problems in Loss of Control eating (LOC) in youth: study protocol of the combined online and App based questionnaire, laboratory and randomized controlled online intervention i-BEAT trial (2021) · cites this paper as [34]

    The Results (Secondary Study Aim; page unavailable) report significantly greater reductions in loss-of-control (LOC) eating episodes among girls receiving IPT-WG than among those receiving health education. This supports preliminary evidence for IPT in youth, but the paper measures LOC episodes—which it defines as occurring regardless of the amount eaten—not specifically binge-eating frequency. The Discussion also says the small pilot study cannot establish definitive efficacy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
