Emotional eating is associated with obesity and disordered eating in adolescents, and thus, is an important target for treatment. We developed a program called PEER (Preventing Emotional Eating Routines), which incorporates emotion regulation skills with behavioral weight loss and parenting techniques for adolescents who are overweight or obese (OW/OB) and their parent. This open label trial evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of the PEER program. Thirty adolescents who were OW/OB (86.7% female; mean age = 14.6 years (SD = 1.2); Body Mass Index (BMI) = 34.0 kg/m (SD = 5.6); 33.3% White non-Hispanic) and their parent (66.7% biological mother) participated in a 4-month treatment and 3-month follow-up. The PEER program was well accepted. Initial efficacy showed significant decreases in emotional eating, and there were trends towards weight loss and a decrease in emotion dysregulation. This trial provides preliminary evidence for the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of the PEER program among adolescents who are OW/OB and their parent. Further treatment development and randomized controlled studies are needed.
情绪性进食与青少年肥胖和饮食失调有关,因此是治疗的一个重要目标。我们开发了一个名为 PEER(预防情绪性进食习惯)的项目,该项目将情绪调节技能与行为减肥和养育技术相结合,针对超重或肥胖(OW/OB)的青少年及其父母。这项开放标签试验评估了 PEER 项目的可行性、可接受性和初步疗效。30 名 OW/OB 的青少年(86.7%为女性;平均年龄为 14.6 岁(SD=1.2);体重指数(BMI)为 34.0kg/m(SD=5.6);33.3%为白种非西班牙裔)及其父母(66.7%为亲生母亲)参加了为期 4 个月的治疗和 3 个月的随访。PEER 项目得到了很好的认可。初步疗效显示情绪性进食显著减少,体重减轻和情绪失调减少的趋势。这项试验为 OW/OB 青少年及其父母的 PEER 项目的可行性、可接受性和初步疗效提供了初步证据。需要进一步的治疗开发和随机对照研究。
