Eating Disorder Symptom, Suicidal Ideation
Conditions
Brief summary
Project RISE is a randomized control trial. The intervention consists of four modules that focus on multiple aspects of interoception including: body awareness, body sensations/movement, eating, health and self-care, emotional awareness, and understanding the self in relation to others. The comparator condition is called Health Habits and is matched for time and attention; participants complete modules related to healthy habits such as financial planning, hygiene, stretching, and healthy eating. Variables of interest include self-report measures of interoception, eating pathology, suicidality, physiological measures of interoception (electrocardiograph; ECG; pain tolerance measured via algometer), and an implicit association test (IAT) with death and life stimuli (meant to measure implicit associations with suicidality). The population will be college students, with current or past suicidality or low interoception.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness | within one week of Post-test | Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness. Total scores range from 0-175. Higher scores indicate a better outcome. |
| Treatment acceptability | within one week of Post-test | Feasibility and Acceptability questions. Scores range from 4-28. Higher scores indicate a better outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Depression Screening Inventory-Suicidality Subscale | within one week of Post-test | Measure of suicidal ideation, greater scores indicate more severe ideation. Scores range from 0-12. Higher scores indicate more suicidality, or a worse outcome. |
| Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire | within one week of Post-test | Measure of disordered eating. Global score ranges from 0-6; greater scores indicate more severe eating disorder symptoms |
| Heartbeat perception task | within one week of Post-test | Measured via ECG. Perceived versus actual heartbeats are recorded across 3 trials. Scores range from 0-1; higher scores indicate greater cardiac interoceptive accuracy. |
| Brief Symptom Inventory | within one week of Post-test | Short measure assessing anxiety and depression symptoms. Scores range from 0-72; greater scores indicate more pathology |
