In this presentation, Pamela Thomas, a PhD researcher at University College London, shares a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of digital interventions for treating mild to moderate eating disorders. The study examines how digital tools grounded in clinically-based theory and behavior change techniques (BCTs) can help individuals recover from disordered eating behaviors. Pamela highlights the importance of integrating evidence-based psychological techniques to address the growing "treatment gap" for eating disorders.
