“…It is possible that Latinx users may be well suited for chatbot interventions. Finally, previous studies have reported that the higher number of messages sent by the user was associated with higher completion rates ( 47 ), and satisfaction with the chatbot ( 32 ). Thus, the high number of messages sent by participants in the current study is a positive sign of engagement.…”

BackgroundThe use of chatbots to address mental health conditions have become increasingly popular in recent years. However, few studies aimed to teach parenting skills through chatbots, and there are no reports on parental user experience. Aim: This study aimed to assess the user experience of a parenting chatbot micro intervention to teach how to praise children in a Spanish-speaking country.MethodsA sample of 89 parents were assigned to the chatbot micro intervention as part of a randomized controlled trial study. Completion rates, engagement, satisfaction, net promoter score, and acceptability were analyzed.Results66.3% of the participants completed the intervention. Participants exchanged an average of 49.8 messages (SD = 1.53), provided an average satisfaction score of 4.19 (SD = .79), and reported that they would recommend the chatbot to other parents (net promoter score = 4.63/5; SD = .66). Acceptability level was high (ease of use = 4.66 [SD = .73]; comfortability = 4.76 [SD = .46]; lack of technical problems = 4.69 [SD = .59]; interactivity = 4.51 [SD = .77]; usefulness for everyday life = 4.75 [SD = .54]).ConclusionsOverall, users completed the intervention at a high rate, engaged with the chatbot, were satisfied, would recommend it to others, and reported a high level of acceptability. Chatbots have the potential to teach parenting skills however research on the efficacy of parenting chatbot interventions is needed.

“…Participants were enrolled in a 12-session text-based iCBT program called “internet treatment of Binge Eating Disorder” (iBED). Several studies have been published on the iBED program ( Holmberg et al, 2022 ; Jensen et al, 2020 ; Linnet et al, 2022 ; Runge et al, 2022 ). Participants received written support from a psychologist in a pragmatic cohort design.…”

“…Compared with conventional treatment, it is easy to collect objective data measurements in Internet-based treatment ( Manwaring et al, 2008 ). Therefore, iCBT is advantageous in identifying objective predictors of attrition and treatment outcome, and some may have transdiagnostic properties ( Linnet et al, 2022 ). Baseline measures (e.g., pre-tests) show poor or mixed performance in identifying adherence and treatment effects in iCBT ( Bremer et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Consequently, there is increasing interest in investigating process variables that describe how patients respond to therapy during treatment. Examples of predictive process measures in iCBT include symptom scores between sessions ( Forsell et al, 2020 ; Forsell et al, 2019 ) and number of words and messages in the text-based intervention ( Linnet et al, 2022 ; Van der Zanden et al, 2014 ; Wallert et al, 2018 ).…”

Background Psychotherapy is considered central to the effective treatment of eating disorders—focusing on behavioural, psychological, and social factors that contribute to the illness. Research indicates psychotherapeutic interventions out-perform placebo, waitlist, and/or other treatments; but, outcomes vary with room for major improvement. Thus, this review aims to (1) establish and consolidate knowledge on efficacious eating disorder psychotherapies; (2) highlight select emerging psychotherapeutic interventions; and (3) identify knowledge gaps to better inform future treatment research and development. Methods The current review forms part of a series of Rapid Reviews published in a special issue in the Journal of Eating Disorders to inform the development of the Australian-government-funded National Eating Disorder Research and Translation Strategy 2021–2031. Three databases were searched for studies published between 2009 and 2023, published in English, and comprising high-level evidence studies (meta-analyses, systematic reviews, moderately sized randomised controlled studies, moderately sized controlled-cohort studies, and population studies). Data pertaining to psychotherapies for eating disorders were synthesised and outlined in the current paper. Results 281 studies met inclusion criteria. Behavioural therapies were most commonly studied, with cognitive-behavioural and family-based therapies being the most researched; and thus, having the largest evidence-base for treating anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Other therapies, such as interpersonal and dialectical behaviour therapies also demonstrated positive treatment outcomes. Emerging evidence supports specific use of Acceptance and Commitment; Integrative Cognitive Affective; Exposure; Mindfulness; and Emotionally-Focused therapies; however further research is needed to determine their efficacy. Similarly, growing support for self-help, group, and computer/internet-based therapeutic modalities was noted. Psychotherapies for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder; other, and unspecified feeding and eating disorders were lacking evidence. Conclusions Currently, clinical practice is largely supported by research indicating that behavioural and cognitive-behavioural psychotherapies are most effective for the treatment of eating disorders. However, the efficacy of psychotherapeutic interventions varies across studies, highlighting the need for investment and expansion of research into enhanced variants and novel psychotherapies to improve illness outcomes. There is also a pressing need for investigation into the whole range of eating disorder presentations and populations, to determine the most effective interventions.
