The purpose of this study is to test a smartphone app that helps Black women with binge eating. First, participants in the study will complete interviews that help identify barriers and reasons that lead to binge eating in Black women with obesity. With that information, researchers will test and improve a smartphone app to include necessary intervention functions to reduce binge eating in the target population. Part of the testing process includes focus group sessions where participants will give feedback on : 1) organization and presentation, 2) content, 3) sensitivity to issues faced by Black women who binge eat; 4) therapeutic benefit; 5) user-friendliness; and 6) quality of intervention. All information collected from focus groups will be considered in the final version of the app.
The purpose of this study is to determine if, and to what extent, elite cue-giving affects approval of nuclear energy. Participants will be assigned to either an experimental or control group. The experimental group will be asked to read a stimulus regarding nuclear energy directly cited from a renowned physicist, who functions as an elite cue giver. Then, participants will be asked to evaluate the extent to which they agree with statements such as, "nuclear energy is a reliable resource" and "nuclear energy should be advocated for by my political party more." The control group will read a similar stimulus that is not credited to any elite cue giver, and then evaluate the same statements as the experimental group. The investigator will then compare concerns and support for nuclear energy between the experimental and control group.
The purpose of this trial is to allow patients who are currently on the PROSERA trial to receive medication until the study drug is commercially available.
