Applying Novel Technologies and Methods to Inform the Ontology of Self-Regulation: Binge Eating and Smoking
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT03353649
Purpose
This study aims to examine targets of self-regulatory function among two exemplar populations
for which behavior plays a critical role in health outcomes: smokers and individual who binge
eat (BED). This is the second phase of a study that aims to identify putative mechanisms of
behavior change to develop an overarching "ontology" of self-regulatory processes.
