UK participants with past or current eating disorder sought for research project

Please help improve eating disorders treatment and raise money for B-EAT, the eating disorders charity I’m currently involved in a study which is looking at treatment experiences of people who have had eating disorders. The findings will improve our understanding of what treatments people are currently getting and how helpful they find them. The ultimate aim is to improve access to effective NHS treatments for everyone with eating disorders. We will donate £2 for every questionnaire completed to B-eat, the eating disorders charity, until we meet our target of 130 completed questionnaires.

We really need your help to participate and to find others who might be able to help. We are looking for people who have received psychological therapy in the UK for bulimia nervosa or a binge-eating problem. If this applies to you, please click on the link below. If not, please email this link to anyone else who might be able to help.

Taking part involves filling out an on-line questionnaire about your eating problems and treatment experiences, which can be accessed via this link: http://www.b-eat.co.uk/Supportingbeat/ResearchRequests/BulimiaBingeEating.

It should take 15-30 mins to complete, and we will be incredibly grateful for your help.

Here’s the small print: The study is being conducted at UCL as part of Rachel van Schaick’s doctoral thesis. The study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of University College London.
