Methods: 488 participants with a primary diagnosis of ED were randomized to the UP group or to the treatment as usual (TAU; individual, disorder-specific cognitive behavioral therapy). Personality, depression and anxiety symptoms, affect, and quality of life were assessed at pre-treatment, 3 months after treatment onset (coinciding with the end of the UP treatment), and 6 and 9 months after treatment onset (follow-ups). The moderating effect of the treatment condition and the number of sessions received in the evolution of study outcomes was investigated with a linear mixed model analysis. Results: A significant improvement in outcomes occurred in both conditions, except for extraversion in the TAU. Improvements in depression, anxiety and quality of life were larger in the UP condition. After the treatment, improvements were maintained at follow-ups in all study outcomes. An interaction between Time*Condition*Sessions was found for depression. Conclusion: The results add to the existing evidence on the effectiveness of the UP and may be important for implementation purposes in the Spanish or other similar public mental health systems. 000150127 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S31-20D$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII-FIS/PI17-00320 000150127 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc$$uhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.es 000150127 590__ $$a3.9$$b2022 000150127 591__ $$aPSYCHOLOGY, CLINICAL$$b34 / 131 = 0.26$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT1 000150127 592__ $$a1.225$$b2022 000150127 593__ $$aClinical Psychology$$c2022$$dQ1 000150127 594__ $$a7.1$$b2022 000150127 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000150127 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2437-1207$$aPeris-Baquero O.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000150127 700__ $$aSuso-Ribera C. 000150127 700__ $$aFarchione T.J. 000150127 700__ $$aBarlow D.H. 000150127 7102_ $$14009$$2740$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
