Study Summary
Web-based self-help could work well to disseminate behavior therapies for body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRB) such as hair pulling and skin picking. Previous research suggests that this method works well for people who use the program a great deal, but many participants do not. Adhering frequently to a BFRB self-help program requires self-control because the costs occur immediately (time, trouble, possible boredom), whereas the benefits (reduced symptoms) are realized later. This study will test whether two weeks of practice of a self-control exercise (avoiding consumption of sweet foods), compared to wait list, will increase adherence during a subsequent 10-week trial of BFRB self-help.
