Abstract
Latent class growth analysis was applied to examine variability in symptom response from women with comorbid obesity and depression who received behavioral activation treatment for depression. Two distinct symptom trajectories were observed with significant differences in rate of BDI-II improvement. Future research should explore factors associated with differential treatment response.
