Sample CHAPTER 4 RESUL TS A total of 15 participants completed the 14-day trial of BLT. Recruitment took place from spring 2013 through fall 2014. See Appendix F for a breakdown of recruitment processes. Participants were recruited across all seasons, controlling for possibility of differential seasonal effectiveness. The average age was 42.2 years (SD = 15.03). Participants completed an average of 13.4 days of light therapy with an average duration of light therapy of 60.08 minutes per day. Administration of light therapy varied amongst participants as they were instructed to complete light therapy upon waking but to begin before 9:00 am. As a result, start time of BLT was not stable across participants. The majority of participants elected to email the researcher to confirm daily completion of BLT (73%), while 20% chose to text and 6.7% chose to leave voicemails. Regardless of method of confirmation, contact with the investigator was kept to a minimum. On average, participants had been struggling with night eating behaviors for 13.73 years (SD = 14.12). Nearly half of participants (46.7%) reported having a family history of night eating behavior (i.e., mother or father). Within this sample, 66.7% of participants met full threshold criteria for NES and 33.3% met sub-threshold criteria. Table 5 provides information regarding participant characteristics. 39
