2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
It was hypothesized that eating a meal slowly would lead to a lower meal energy intake and lesser feelings of hunger and desire to eat and higher levels of fullness after the meal compared to eating the same meal more quickly.
Insufficient inhibitory control is one pathway through which early adversity is related to a range of problems including excessive alcohol use, tobacco use, and unhealthy eating. The proposed research leverages a neurally informed model of inhibitory control and how it can be improved to test the efficacy of a person-centered inhibitory control intervention in a sample of mid-life individuals with early adversity. The knowledge obtained by this study could be scaled into a flexible, low-cost, and wide-ranging intervention to remediate some of the effects of early adversity on inhibitory control and thus a number of prevalent health risking behaviors.
