Experiences of eating disorders

Welcome

We are asking people aged over 18, who are currently experiencing either anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, to take part in two short interviews to help us understand the different experiences that are important in the lives of people with eating disorders.

We need your help

The interviews will cover a range of topics that you will most likely be quite familiar with, and also some that you might not be. This includes questions about behaviour (such as eating or sleeping), and questions about thoughts (such as beliefs you may have about yourself). We are particularly interested in your experiences of your eating difficulties. All information gathered in the interview will be kept anonymous.

Taking Part

If you would like to help us in our research and share your experiences of eating difficulties, then please contact us at the address or e-mail below. We will forward you some more information, and if you are still interested, we can then arrange a suitable place to meet and conduct the interviews. This will also give you a chance to ask any questions you might have before you agree to take part.

The Research

This research is part of a doctoral dissertation in Clinical Psychology. As a participant, you may request a copy of any report resulting from the information collected for this study.
