Advancing Early Intervention for Eating Disorders in Youth: Targeting Denial of Illness and Improving Screening Practices


The study is about understanding people's experience of not recognising that they have an eating disorder that is serious enough to require treatment. Our research aims to develop new resources to improve the detection of eating disorders, based on people’s lived experience of barriers to help-seeking. Participants will complete a 60-minute interview and will be reimbursed with a $40 gift card for their time.
