| Popis: | Objective Although self-monitoring is an important part of eating disorder treatment, non-adherence is commonly observed among patients asked to maintain paper food records. This study aims to compare the efficacy and acceptability of electronic self-monitoring via Recovery Record to self-monitoring via traditional paper records, in an intensive outpatient (IOP) eating disorder treatment for adults. Method Ninety patients were recruited from an IOP eating disorder clinic and randomly assigned to the experimental or control condition. Those in the control condition received the standard treatment delivered by the IOP programme, including the use of paper records for self-monitoring. Those in the experimental condition received the same treatment but used Recovery Record for self-monitoring. Results The results did not demonstrate statistically significant group differences over time on eating disorder symptomatology, and there were no statistically significant group differences on acceptability or adherence. Conclusions Our pilot efficacy data do not support superiority of the app over paper records in an IOP setting, so proceeding to a larger efficacy trial is not warranted. Future studies should aim to determine whether the app is efficacious as an adjunct to less intensive treatment or to further explore adherence and acceptability outcomes in studies with larger sample sizes.
