“…Fortunately, many of the studies considered in this meta-analysis used open-source statistics and shared their raw data on many websites, such as the Open Science Framework. Based on these shared data [ 14 , 34 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ], we conducted a mini meta-analysis to calculate the “true” correlation, and the correlation was accordingly set at r = 0.78.…”

“…Furthermore, associative learning theories have argued that action and valence are closely coupled, such that stopping is associated with punishment, whereas going is associated with reward [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. It is therefore plausible that no-go/stop foods become increasingly disliked via their associations with automatic response inhibition [ 34 , 35 ].…”

Theories have suggested that food-specific inhibition training could lead to food devaluation which, in turn, may help people to regulate their eating behavior. In this review, we have synthesized the current literature on this topic by conducting a meta-analysis of studies investigating the effects of food-specific inhibition training on food evaluation. We identified 24 studies—with 36 independent samples, 77 effect sizes, and 3032 participants—that met our inclusion criteria. Effect sizes were analyzed using the robust variance estimation in random effects meta-regression technique. The results indicate that food-specific inhibition training can lead to statistically significant reductions in food evaluation. More specifically, it was observed that the effects of training on participants’ food evaluation differed according to the type of evaluation; food-specific inhibition training significantly decreased participants’ explicit food evaluation, but not their implicit food evaluation. However, because most of the included studies focused on trained food items and short-term outcomes in normal-weight samples, more research is needed on the continuance of the training effects, as well as on the extent to which effects can be generalized to untrained food items or different populations (e.g., overweight or obese individuals).

“…Since then, we have expanded this approach to include postgraduate training, with the Alcohol Research Consortium (ARC) fostering collaboration between undergraduate and master's students. Working as a larger research team, we devise a scientifically valid study with plausible hypotheses, robust methodology and high statistical power, and an appropriate analysis plan (for examples, see Adams et al, 2021;Tzavella et al, 2021). To ensure individual contributions and adherence to degree accreditation processes (e.g., British Psychological Society, 2019), our students each propose secondary research questions that they would like to investigate, which usually assess individual differences or moderator variables.…”

Participant crowdsourcing platforms (e.g., MTurk, Prolific) offer numerous advantages to addiction science, permitting access to hard-to-reach populations and enhancing the feasibility of complex experimental, longitudinal, and intervention studies. Yet these are met with equal concerns about participant nonnaivety, motivation, and careless responding, which if not considered can greatly compromise data quality. In this article, we discuss an alternative crowdsourcing avenue that overcomes these issues whilst presenting its own unique advantages-crowdsourcing researchers through big team science. First, we review several contemporary efforts within psychology (e.g., ManyLabs, Psychological Science Accelerator) and the benefits these would yield if they were more widely implemented in addiction science. We then outline our own consortium-based approach to empirical dissertations: a grassroots initiative that trains students in reproducible big team addiction science. In doing so, we discuss potential challenges and their remedies, as well as providing resources to help addiction researchers develop these initiatives. Through researcher crowdsourcing, together we can answer fundamental scientific questions about substance use and addiction, build a literature that is representative of a diverse population of researchers and participants, and ultimately achieve our goal of promoting better global health. Public Health SignificanceThis special issue on "crowdsourcing methods in addiction science" focuses on best practices and emerging research that uses online participant recruitment platforms. An alternative method is that of crowdsourcing researchers through big team science. In this article, we: (a) review contemporary researcher crowdsourcing efforts and the benefits these would bring to addiction science; (b) outline our approach to teaching students in reproducible big team addiction science; and (c) evaluate challenges and their remedies, as well as providing resources, to help others develop these initiatives.

PurposeThe aim of this study was to expand the evidence on the feasibility and impact of food-specific inhibitory control training in a community sample of people with disinhibited eating.MethodsRecruitment and data collection were conducted during the COVID-19 outbreak, in Italy. Ninety-four adult individuals with disinhibited eating were randomised to one of two conditions: App-based food-specific inhibitory control training or waiting list. Participants were assessed at baseline, end of intervention (two weeks following baseline) and follow-up (one week later). The assessment measures included questionnaires about eating behaviour and mood.ResultsSeventy-three percent of the sample reported a diagnosis of binge eating disorder, and 20.4% a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa. Retention rates were 77% and 86% for the food-specific inhibitory control training and the waiting list conditions, respectively. Almost half of the participants allocated to the training condition completed the “recommended” dose of training (i.e., 10 or more sessions). Those in the training condition reported lower levels of wanting for high-energy dense foods (p<0.05), a trend for lower levels of perceived hunger (p=0.07), and lower levels of depression (p<0.05). Binge eating symptoms, disinhibition, wanting for high-energy dense foods, stress and anxiety were significantly lower at end of intervention, compared to baseline (p<.05). ConclusionFindings corroborate the feasibility of food-specific inhibitory control training, and its impact on high-energy dense foods liking. The study expands the evidence base for food-specific inhibitory control training by highlighting its impact on perceived hunger and depression. The mechanisms underlying these effects remain to be clarified.Level of Evidence: Level I, Evidence obtained from at least one properly designed randomized controlled trials; systematic reviews and meta-analyses; experimental studies.
