Personal causal modeling of affect and eating behaviors in bulimia nervosa: implications for personalized treatment
CDA revealed marked heterogeneity in causal factors underlying BN behaviors, with some models showing affect-driven behaviors and others indicating behavior-driven patterns. Ultimately, this work indicates that the link between momentary affect and BN behaviors is highly individualized, underscoring the need for precision-targeted interventions rather than one-size-fits-all treatments.
