Background: The number of days between treatment sessions is often overlooked as a predictor of attrition in psychotherapy. In text-based Internet interventions, days between sessions may be a simple yet powerful predictor of attrition. Objective: We hypothesized that a larger number of days between sessions increased the likelihood of attrition among participants with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) in a 12-session Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) program. Participants could work on the sessions whenever convenient for them and received written support from a psychologist. Material and methods: We compared 201 adult participants with mild to moderate BED (85 non-completers and 116 completers) on the number of days between sessions to predict attrition rates. Results: Mixed model binomial logistic regression showed that non-completers spent significantly more days between sessions across the first four treatment sessions (1–4) when controlling for age, gender, and intake measures of BMI, BED, overall health status (EQ VAS), and depression symptoms (MDI) (OR = 1.042, p |
