Seeking help for an eating disorder: Share your experience

The study:

The purpose of the project is to understand your experience of seeking help for an eating disorder. This might include factors which helped you to ask for help for eating problems as well as thinking about what made it difficult. We are specifically interested in the experiences of people from under-served groups in eating disorder treatment.

Who we would like to talk to: 

We are interested in speaking to people aged 16 years or older who:

  • Have a current or past experience of any eating disorder although a formal diagnosis or experience of formal eating disorder treatment is not required.
  • Self-identify as having one of the following characteristics:

o    From an ethnic or racial minority group

o    Identify as Male

o    From a sexual or gender minority group

What is involved?  

If you choose to take part in the project you will be asked to take part in an interview (lasting up to 1 hour) and complete a short questionnaire.

 

If you think you might be interested, please contact Jessica.wilkins@kcl.ac.uk for more information.
