- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: The proposed study will use a randomized clinical trial design. A sample of 40 black women who report at least weekly binge eating episodes will be randomized to 2 arms of a 6-month AAT intervention: AAT or a wait-list control group (delayed intervention group). AAT participants will receive an 8-week AAT program using a group format, and will be provided a smart scale (with bluetooth-connection for automatic data reporting) and instructions to weigh themselves daily. Participants will also be provided with weekly tailored feedback on self-weighing frequency and weight change. Assessments will be conducted at 0, 2, and 6 months.Masking: None (Open Label)Primary Purpose: Treatment

Aim 1. Using an experimental design, examine the feasibility and acceptability of 6-month AAT (N=40) in North Carolina.

Aim 1. Using an experimental design, examine the feasibility and acceptability of 6-month AAT (N=40) in North Carolina. Forty overweight and obese (BMI ? 25 kg/m²) community-based Black women will be randomized to the AAT intervention or wait-list control (who will eventually receive the intervention). AAT participants will meet weekly for 8 weeks, followed by a 4-month period of daily weighing and weekly tailored feedback only. The study will examine the following: recruitment feasibility, attendance/retention, adherence, satisfaction, and barriers to completion. Aim 2: At 4 and 6 months, compare changes in (a) binge eating, eating self-efficacy, and depressive symptoms and (b) weight, blood pressure, and waist circumference for participants in the intervention vs. control group. H_1: Participants in the AAT intervention will report less binge and overeating and gain less weight than those in the control group at 2 and 6 months. Secondary aim: Examine characteristics (e.g., baseline BMI, severity of binge eating, frequency of self-weighing) related to change in binge eating and weight.
