Résumé
Some evidence suggests that in internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) the likelihood of adherence is increased when patients write longer messages to the therapist in the program. This association has not previously been investigated in iCBT for Binge Eating Disorder (BED). In this study, we hypothesized that the number of words written by patients with mild to moderate BED was associated with increased likelihood of treatment completion in a text-based iCBT program. We compared 143 BED patients (92 completers and 51 non-completers) on the number of messages and words written to their therapist during the treatment. Completers wrote significantly more words per message (words/message) than non-completers. The results remained significant after controlling for gender, age, educational level, marital status, children, source of income and intake measures of BED, BMI and depression symptoms (Wald = 14.48, The number of words/message patients write may have important implications for ascertaining likelihood of adherence and improving adherence rates. From a clinical perspective, therapists should encourage patients to use the option of writing messages to the therapist. Words/message may prove to be a transdiagnostic predictor of treatment adherence in text based iCBT.

Background
UNASSIGNED
Some evidence suggests that in internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) the likelihood of adherence is increased when patients write longer messages to the therapist in the program. This association has not previously been investigated in iCBT for Binge Eating Disorder (BED).
Objective
UNASSIGNED
In this study, we hypothesized that the number of words written by patients with mild to moderate BED was associated with increased likelihood of treatment completion in a text-based iCBT program.
Material and methods
UNASSIGNED
We compared 143 BED patients (92 completers and 51 non-completers) on the number of messages and words written to their therapist during the treatment.
Results
UNASSIGNED
Completers wrote significantly more words per message (words/message) than non-completers. The results remained significant after controlling for gender, age, educational level, marital status, children, source of income and intake measures of BED, BMI and depression symptoms (Wald = 14.48,
Conclusions
UNASSIGNED
The number of words/message patients write may have important implications for ascertaining likelihood of adherence and improving adherence rates. From a clinical perspective, therapists should encourage patients to use the option of writing messages to the therapist. Words/message may prove to be a transdiagnostic predictor of treatment adherence in text based iCBT.
