Abstract:	Food addiction (FA) has been examined in different populations. Although high FA scores are associated with greater eating-disorder severity, few studies have addressed how FA relates treatment outcome. Goals: (1) to determine whether a brief intervention for bulimia nervosa (BN) reduces FA diagnosis or severity compared to baseline; and (2) to determine if FA is predictive of treatment outcome. Method: 66 female BN patients participated in the study. The Yale Food Addiction Scale was administered at two time points: prior to- and following a 6-week intervention. The number of weekly binging/purging episodes, dropout and abstinence from bulimic behavior were used as primary outcome measures. Results: This brief intervention significantly reduced FA severity and FA diagnosis rates in the 55 patients who completed treatment. FA severity was a short-term predictor of abstinence of binges/vomits episodes after the therapy (p=. 018). Conclusions: FA appears to be prevalent in BN although FA severity can improve following a short-term intervention.
