- Description
- There are limited treatment options available for people who experience food addiction. This thesis begins by providing an overview of what food addiction is (including prevalence, overlap with co-morbidities and the influence of food addiction on dietary intake). Chapters 2 - 5 are presented as published studies which includes a systematic review of available treatment options for food addiction, followed by a co-design study involving people with lived overeating experience. Chapter 4 is a study examining if there are any proximal factors that may increase the risk of developing food addiction in a large dataset of Australian adolescents, and finally a study examining the effectiveness of a randomised controlled trial on improving addictive eating symptoms, diet, sleep and physical activity. The thesis finishes by providing a discussion regarding the implications for future research and practice.
