Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcomes are feasability and acceptance of the outpatient IMPULS treatment, that will be assessed by the rate of recruitment, drop-out rate, extent of participation in the sessions, extent of homework done, subjective evaluation of patients, subjective evaluation of therapists. We assess primary outcomes depending on the frequency of participated sessions and type of session (digital vs. face to face format).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcomes are time effects between T0 and T1 concerning the effectivity of the outpatient IMPULS treatment, in particular the frequency of binge eating episodes in the last four weeks according to EDE-Q. Other secondary outcomes comprise time effects between T0 and T1 concerning eating disorder pathology (EDE-Q), depression (BDI II), impulsive eating behaviour (TFEQ, process analyses, work sheets, eating-related self efficacy) and impulsivity (BIS-15). We assess secondary outcomes depending on the frequency of participated sessions and type of session (digital vs. face to face format).	—
