Binge Eating Syndrome Treatment for Older Women (BESTOW)

Purpose of this Study

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a group intervention (“program”) designed to help women 60 years and older improve eating behaviors, particularly binge eating. We hope to learn whether this program helps women develop healthier eating habits and how it may change the way women think about themselves and their health behaviors, broadly.
