Recruitment CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY Participants I aimed to enroll 20 individuals with interview-confirmed night eating behavior, operationalized as evening hyperphagia (≥25% of total daily caloric intake consumed after the evening meal) and/or nocturnal awakenings with ingestions of food that occur once or more a week. Night eating behavior, rather than a diagnosis of NES was chosen because of the low prevalence of NES in the general population (i.e., 1.5%-5.7%; Rand, Macgregor, & Stunkard,1997; Colles, Dixon, & O’Brien, 2007; Streigel-Moore et al., 2006) as well as the interest in the effect of BLT on night eating behavior independent of a diagnosis of NES. In order to compensate for attrition, I planned to recruit 40 individuals to have a final sample 20. A description of the study was posted on flyers throughout the University of Missouri – Kansas City campus as well as advertised online through www.craigslist.com and www.backpage.com. Flyers were also provided to local practitioners who have specialty in eating disorders, obesity, and sleep disorders. These flyers contained basic information about the study including the purpose, requirements for participation, and compensation. Significant recruitment challenges were encountered that led to the decision to decrease the final number of participants from 20 to 15. Recruitment began in April 2013 through monthly postings to Craig’s List, weekly postings to Backpage, and posting fliers around campus and at a private practice for eating disorders. Dr. Lundgren also screened several participants as part of recruitment for a larger night eating study. Responses primarily came from online postings (3-15 per posting), but many people indicated their unwillingness to participate without 27PDF Image | BRIGHT LIGHT THERAPY FOR late NIGHT EATING SYNDRome
