“…Rather than develop a new intervention as with other IKT studies, 50–54 the IKT research group used a previously piloted brief intervention as the framework for redevelopment and refinement. 40 Adopting this approach allowed for a balanced method to codesign by combining evidence on behaviour change and components on lifestyle interventions for FA together with knowledge users. Holding separate workshops and interviews for the research advisory group and knowledge users, helped to streamline the codesign process, improved workshop focus, and allowed for detailed reporting.…”

“…The purpose of these workshops was to review updated programme content based on previous process evaluation 47 and feasibility trial. 40 More specifically, the workshops determined four factors necessary to ensure adherence to an IKT approach in relation to the development of an intervention. These included the research question/s, the research approach (and each project members’ role within this), how efficacy would be ascertained and the outcomes that were to be sought ( table 1 ).…”

“… 40 This pilot study included personality-based telehealth sessions with an Accredited Practising Dietitian for adults with symptoms of addictive eating. 40 The unique approach of personalised feedback on personality profiles has been found to effectively target modifiable risk factors associated with the development of substance-use disorders 41 42 and shown to be an economically viable alternative to face-to-face models of care. 43 44 Telehealth may also help address barriers such as stigma and increased levels of anxiety that may be associated with appointments and FA, 45 46 allow more individuals to access help from their own home and reduce geographical barriers, 47 and facilitate equity in service delivery.…”

IntroductionCodesign is a meaningful end-user engagement in research design. The integrated knowledge translation (IKT) framework involves adopting a collaborative research approach to produce and apply knowledge to address real-world needs, resulting in useful and useable recommendations that will more likely be applied in policy and practice. In the field of food addiction (FA), there are limited treatment options that have been reported to show improvements in FA symptoms.ObjectivesThe primary aim of this paper is to describe the step-by-step codesign and refinement of a complex intervention delivered via telehealth for adults with FA using an IKT approach. The secondary aim is to describe our intervention in detail according to the TIDieR checklist.DesignThis study applies the IKT process and describes the codesign and refinement of an intervention through a series of online meetings, workshops and interviews.ParticipantsThis study included researchers, clinicians, consumers and health professionals.Primary outcome measureThe primary outcome was a refined intervention for use in adults with symptoms of FA for a research trial.ResultsA total of six female health professionals and five consumers (n=4 female) with lived overeating experience participated in two interviews lasting 60 min each. This process resulted in the identification of eight barriers and three facilitators to providing and receiving treatment for FA, eight components needed or missing from current treatments, telehealth as a feasible delivery platform, and refinement of key elements to ensure the intervention met the needs of both health professionals and possible patients.ConclusionUsing an IKT approach allowed for a range of viewpoints and enabled multiple professions and disciplines to engage in a semiformalised way to bring expertise to formulate a possible intervention for FA. Mapping the intervention plan to the TIDieR checklist for complex interventions, allowed for detailed description of the intervention and the identification of a number of areas that needed to be refined before development of the finalised intervention protocol.

“…A randomised controlled trial was conducted to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of FoodFix when compared to a waitlist control group. The preliminary efficacy results for addictive eating and dietary intake have been previously published [21]. To assess feasibility, intervention delivery and program acceptability were assessed.…”

“…Session timing and duration were; session one (week one-baseline, 45 min), session two (week three, 25-30 min), and session three (week seven, 15-20 min). A description of the intervention sessions has been previously published [21] and is available as (Supplementary Material (Table S1). Broadly, session one focused on exploring each participant's reasons for participating in the study, their experience of addictive eating and goal setting focused around dietary intake, session two focused on personality traits and coping strategies, and session three was a check-in focusing on problem solving any barriers and providing encouragement relating to goals and coping strategies.…”

Addictive eating prevalence is estimated at 15–20% in studied populations, and is associated with concurrent mental health conditions and eating disorders as well as overweight and obesity. However, few evidence-based interventions targeting addictive eating are available. The further development of evidence-based interventions requires assessment of intervention feasibility and efficacy. This study aimed to determine the feasibility, including intervention delivery and program acceptability, of FoodFix; a personality targeted intervention for the treatment of addictive eating behaviours in Australian adults. Participants (n = 52) were randomised to intervention (n = 26) or wait-list control groups (n = 26) and received three personalised telehealth sessions with an Accredited Practising Dietitian over seven weeks. Intervention delivery was assessed by tracking adherence to scheduled timing of intervention sessions. Program acceptability of participants was assessed via an online process evaluation survey and program acceptability of intervention providers was assessed via semi-structured phone interviews. In total, 79% of participants adhered to scheduled timing for session two and 43% for session three, defined as within one week (before/after) of the scheduled date. Further, 21% of participants completed the process evaluation survey (n = 11). The majority of participants were extremely/very satisfied with FoodFix (n = 7, 63%). Intervention providers (n = 2) expressed that they felt adequately trained to deliver the intervention, and that the overall session format, timing, and content of FoodFix was appropriate for participants. These findings highlight the importance of assessing intervention feasibility to further understand intervention efficacy.
