This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing a new smartphone app called the Centering Appetite Intervention that helps Black women with obesity reduce binge eating and prevent weight gain. The app delivers lessons and tools directly to your phone to help you understand your eating patterns and build confidence in managing them. Researchers want to see whether this digital approach actually works and whether it's easy for people to use.
Binge eating and obesity affect many Black women, but most weight loss programs available weren't designed with their specific needs, concerns, and experiences in mind. This trial is trying to create a treatment option that feels relevant and works better for this community.

You will be randomly assigned to either start using the Centering Appetite app right away or to receive weekly wellness emails first. The app group will access smartphone-based lessons and tools focused on managing binge eating and preventing weight gain. After a period of time, groups may switch so everyone has a chance to try the app. You'll need to have a smartphone with Bluetooth and be willing to engage with the program remotely from your home near Kannapolis, North Carolina.
